This GPS tracking device was specifically designed to help keep tabs on patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately, often loved ones stricken with this disease can become easily disoriented and can wander off. With the Keruve, tracking them down and preventing a tragic accident becomes an easier task.
The system comes with a special waterproof GPS tracking bracelet with a battery life of 3.5 days, that can only be removed by a special tool. To track a missing loved one or patient, the owner need only consult the display unit to locate them, even if they go indoors thanks to a fallback cell tower tiangulation system when GPS signals can’t reach the bracelet.
On a less serious note, I’m reminded of the wise words from Dr. Cox to J.D. on the television show Scrubs, “No matter where you go in life, always keep an eye out for Johnny the tackling Alzheimer’s patient.” Perhaps if J.D. had one of these new GPS trackers by Keruve, he would have known when to get out of the way.
Currently the Keruve GPS Tracker is being sold in Europe and has a pricetag of €850 (or approximately $1,345 US Dollars).
