Announced that after two years of research and development, the first 3000 pairs of GPS shoes will be sold in Aetrex Worldwide shoe store.

The price of each pair of shoes is about 300 dollars (about 382 yuan), and buyers can set them.

Monitor

Services to track lost patients with dementia.

Carle, Professor of health and human services at George Mason University, is a consultant to the research and development program.

He said that GPS shoes are likely to save the lives of the elderly and avoid any embarrassing and serious consequences.

He pointed out that the study shows that there are about 5000000 patients with dementia in the United States, and the number may be two times over the next period.

60% of the patients will be lost. Half of the patients who are unable to recover within 24 hours may die of dehydration, exposure or injury.

At present, though there are similar chain bracelets or pendants on the market, the elderly often do not want to wear them.

Carle believes that the main reason is that patients with dementia are usually very paranoid and will not be familiar with objects on their lower bodies.

The new product will install the global positioning system on the heels of the seemingly ordinary walking shoes. If the patient comes out of the safety limits set by the family members, the system will send out.
