Comment on the following question: HOW DOES THIS ISSUE CONNECT TO WHAT WE'RE LEARNING?*
"Caregivers of people with Alzheimer's
disease can now breathe a sigh of relief.Next month, shoes fitted with GPS
tracking systems will hit store shelves in the U.S., reports Agence France
Presse.
The shoes have the potential to help the 5.4 million people in the
United States with Alzheimer's.
Priced
at $300 and created by GTX,
the shoes' heels hold a global positioning system (GPS) to track a wandering
patient with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, notes USA
Today.
Project adviser Andrew Carle of George Mason University's
College of Health and Human Services, first suggested the company create a GPS
shoes for tracking Alzheimer's patients. He told
reporters that 60 percent of
those who suffer from the disease wander, and about half of them who aren't
found in 24 hours may risk death because of dehydration or injury.
The New York Times explains the shoes require a
$30 to $40 dollar subscription monitoring service, but they'll certainly give
caregivers peace of mind as the GPS transmitters will work anywhere a cell
phone receives a signal. While there are some
products, like wristbands, on the market to track people with dementia and
Alzheimer's, there's no guaranteeing people will keep these devices on, says Carle on PhysOrg.com.
With
the Alzheimer's Association reporting
that the disease could affect 11 to 16 million people by 2050, the GPS shoe could
signify a supply and demand for products that cater to the world's growing
aging population, particularly those with memory loss." - From cnn.com
