The French Red Cross has just partnered with Bluelinea, an operator for connected lifestyle devices supporting dependent older persons in their homes, to provide persons with Alzheimer disease with a GPS bracelet which will enable them to move around more safely. The objective of this cooperation is to improve the autonomy and well-being of people with dementia and support caring relatives.
The bracelet is a strong waterproof geolocalisation device connected to a contact and search platform operating 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The lost person will be located accurately and the carer immedialtely contacted.
