The proposed project is to design a system to track and locate mobile Alzheimer's disease patients who suffer from lapses of memory and concentration. Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior and is the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually make over a number of years. In these circumstances, tracking and locating a patient becomes very essential. In this paper the patient carries a tracking module that when queried from the caregiver, automatically locates itself by a GPS receiver, and then relays this information to the caregiver via GSM. The system is highly useful in tracking the patient's and informing the caregivers regarding their position. |
