EM Finders 6170 Research
Road Suite 200 Frisco, TX 75034 Website: www.emfinders.com |
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. |

Vision Localization Systems C/Alcazaba 12 Alqueria

www.keruve.com |
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. |
