60% of Alzheimer's patients are likely to wander. The Emergency Locator Device "EMSeeQ" helps rapidly locate and recover your loved one via the 9-1-1 celluar network. GPS tracking bracelets are flawed. Because buildings, culverts and other enviroments where a wondering loved one might get lost interfer with GPS, our EmSeeQ location device uses triangulation through the celluar network to accurately determine a person's location. To protect your privacy, EmSeeQ does not track an individual - it only activates upon a true emergency.

Kere is a direct locator especially designed for people with Alzheimer's that still have autonomy and their families. Keruve consists of a GPS wristwatch with safety lock for the person with Alzheimer's to wear (see image), and a portable receive for the family or caregiver. The caregiver, by simply pressing the locate button on the receiver, will generate a map on the screen with the exact position of the person wearing the GPS watch. Keruve is the most discreet, easy to use, and reliable locator for Alzheimer's.
