A personal tracking device for the mobility medical challenged individual.

A personal tracking device for the mobility medical challenged individual.

     As we get older, we somtimes forget. And others forget that they are getting older.

But then there are older folks that totally and completely forget everything, including

where they are or should be. Thank goodness a South Korean company has invented a

mobility medical product  that will keep track, in real time, of the location of our

wandering loved ones. We hear/read too often about an elderly person who has gone

missing from their home, and they just show up hundreds of miles away and don’t have a

clue as to how or why they got there. I used to call this condition ‘old timers’ disease, but

since I’ve gotten on the ‘other side’ of sixty I know now that it’s called Alzheimer’s.

My young daughter just calls me OLD, for short.  Jeesh, no respect for your elders anymore.

     This new mobility medical aid is a tracking device which can be attached to a collar/belt or

can be purchased as a wrist watch. Both device types include an emergency SOS button that

can be activated by the wearer, if needed. Both model include a rechargable Li-ion battery

that has a 72 hour life before the need for charging. The tracking part uses theFreeware

GPS tracking software from Google Maps, so there’s never a monthly fee to pay.

That’s a huge bonus for this device. Progress or location reports can be sent to a PC, PDA,

or cell phone. How convenient is that!  Here’s what this tracking device will do: follow an

individual in real time, and show you the exact location where your loved one is,

whenever you want, where ever you are.  By the use of a GPS enabled cell phone.

     You can even set a Geo-Fence to send you an alert if the wearer goes past a

pre-determined boundary. An example would be if they wander off one block past their

home , then an alert would be sent to notify you that they have crossed

the set boundary limit. It’s almost like having a 24 hour, around the clock

sentry for your loved one. There are many types of mobility aids to help us

baby boomers, and this just happens to be a semi high tech gadget that will

give you major peace of mind. Gettin’ old is starting to look better and better,

especially with these mobility medical products coming into the marketplace.

     Do you think I could attach one of these to my car keys……….
