For people with dementia or Alzheimer's, there are several tech devices designed to enhance safety, communication, and overall quality of life. Here are some notable ones:
1. GPS Tracking Devices: Wearable GPS trackers, such as smartwatches or pendants, help caregivers monitor the location of individuals, ensuring they don't get lost. Examples include the Garmin InReach Mini and AngelSense GPS.
2. Medication Reminders: Devices like MedMinder and Hero provide automated medication dispensing and reminders to ensure medications are taken on time.
3. Smart Home Systems: Systems like Amazon Echo and Google Home can be programmed with reminders for daily tasks, play calming music, or control home devices with voice commands.
4. Digital Photo Frames: Frames like Skylight and Aura can display photos and videos, helping to trigger memories and provide comfort through familiar images.
5. Interactive Tablets and Apps: Tablets preloaded with apps designed for cognitive engagement, such as the GrandPad, offer games, puzzles, and simplified communication tools.
6. Wander Prevention Systems: Door alarms and motion sensors can alert caregivers if a person tries to leave the house unexpectedly. Examples include the Smart Caregiver System and SafeWander.
7. Monitoring Cameras: Cameras like Nest Cam and Ring can help caregivers monitor activity and safety within the home remotely.
8. Robotic Pets: Devices like Joy for All Companion Pets provide comfort and companionship through interactive, lifelike robotic pets.
