Wander Alert/Perimeter Alert (Generic)
Product Description:
Wander alert or perimeter alert systems can alert caregivers when a user navigates to a certain area or leaves a specified boundary. The systems work by placing transmitters throughout the monitoring zone and giving users a tracking device—usually a wristband or pendant necklace—to wear. These systems may be helpful for users who have Alzheimer's, autism, or other conditions.
Main Features:
- Creates a custom, virtual "perimeter" inside the desired area.
- Discrete devices.
- Linked to a 24-hr monitoring service and call center, who alerts a caregiver when the user leaves the area.
