Why is a GPS tracker watch useful for dementia?

This watch is a good way to improve safety for people with dementia. The watch has a GPS tracker that tracks the wearer's location live through an app on a phone. This makes it possible to locate the wearer if they move around. The watch also has an SOS button so the wearer can ask for help in an emergency.

The watch also has several other useful features. It can be set to send reminders to the wearer, such as when to take medication (a medication reminder). The watch can also be set to trigger an alarm if the wearer leaves a certain area, using GEO zones, or geofencing. This makes the watch a good way to improve safety for people with dementia.

How does a GPS tracker watch work for Alzheimer's?

Someone with dementia or Alzheimer's wears the watch. Family members, carers or friends install the free KUUS Watch app on a smartphone or tablet. Inside the watch is a GPS tracker connected to the 4G GPS satellites, so the location is shown accurate to within a few metres in the KUUS app. Unlike many other GPS solutions for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, the KUUS watch works with no subscription. There is a SIM card in the GPS watch, but you simply top it up whenever the credit runs out. Credit is used for GPS location updates, and for calls if needed. You need around 30 cents a month for GPS location updates over the internet. If you don't use the watch, you don't pay anything either.

The GPS tracker watch for dementia also offers several other benefits. The watch can be used to help remind the person with dementia about medication or other tasks they need to do. The watch also has fall detection and an SOS button, and you can set a number of SOS contacts in the app. When the person wearing the watch falls, or presses the SOS button, the watch calls the SOS contacts you've set. The GPS watch for dementia also has a step counter and heart rate monitor.

Family members can also set an alarm for when the wearer leaves a certain zone. They can also get a notification when the wearer leaves or enters a certain location, based on GPS. This can be reassuring, as family members know their loved one is in safe hands.

What are the pros and cons of a GPS tracker watch for dementia?

The advantage of a GPS tracker watch for dementia is that relatives and friends don't need to worry as much, as they can check where their loved one is remotely through the app. This brings peace of mind to relatives and friends. For the person wearing the watch, it also means more freedom, as they can stay independent for longer. It's a good solution for preventing wandering, using the wandering detection GPS feature.

The downside of a GPS tracker watch for dementia is that it must not be forgotten – it needs to be put on by the wearer, or by a partner, family member or carer. The watch also has a battery that lasts around 1.5 days, so it needs to be charged every day, just like a smartphone.
