The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) will assemble family caregivers, healthcare professionals and individuals with Alzheimer's disease for an all day event.

The conference will allow attendees to gain expert and first-hand perspectives on medical, behavioral and practical issues facing people with Alzheimer’s disease and their families—and engage them in interactive activities, including memory screenings, the Virtual Dementia Tour™ and display of the AFA Quilt to Remember.

Find the missing in a minute.

The advantage of the Aetrex GPS Shoe over other dementia tracking devices is the device is in a shoe worn by the subject unlike other pocket size tracking devices which often get tossed or traded.

The way it works - The caregiver sees that the afflicted wears the shoe, the caregiver turns on the signal form the online portal and its done. If the subject breaks the specified perimeter the device will turn on and begin sending signals which can be viewed on a web enabled device like a smart phone or a computer.

Location is instantaneous and private. The need for municipal services in uncalled for and the recovery can be effectively managed by familiar faces. Yes there are hybrid product/service combinations endorsed by namesake organizations, but they are more complicated and do not take advantage of embedding the device discretely on the subject’s person.

To buy the best tracking solution visit: Aetrex Navistar GPS Footwear System and let the 2-way Patented GPS technology from GTX Corp find the missing in a minute. Watch this CNET story on the first GPS enabled Alzheimer’s tracking device in a shoe.

Dementia behind bars.

The get-tough-on-crime and mandatory sentencing policies that swept America beginning in the 1970s did more than drive up the inmate population and prison costs. They also ensured that inmates who once might have been seen as rehabilitated and given parole would grow old and even die behind bars. As a result, prisons are struggling to furnish costly, specialized care to ever more inmates who suffer from age-related infirmities, especially dementia.

According to a report from Human Rights Watch, in 2010 roughly 125,000 of the nation’s 1.5 million inmates were 55 years of age and over. This represented a 282 percent increase between 1995 and 2010, compared with a 42 percent increase in the overall inmate population. If the elderly inmate population keeps growing at the current rate, as is likely, the prison system could soon find itself overwhelmed with chronic medical needs.

There is no official count of how many inmates suffer from dementia. But some gerontologists say the current caseload represents the trickle before the deluge. They say the risk of the disease is higher behind bars because inmates are sicker to start with — with higher rates of depression, diabetes, hypertension, H.I.V./AIDS and head trauma. Given these risk factors, the dementia rate in prison could well grow at two or three times that of the world outside.

This is a daunting prospect for prison officials whose difficulties in keeping pace with the present dementia caseload were underscored in a recent report by The Times’s Pam Belluck. The article portrayed officials in crowded, understaffed correctional facilities scrambling to care for ailing inmates who can no longer feed, dress or clean themselves and who create conflict and disorder because they can no longer follow simple commands.

The Human Rights Watch study said the cost of providing medical care to elderly inmates is between three and nine times the cost for younger ones. Another study found that the annual average health care cost per prisoner is about $5,500; about $11,000 for inmates aged 55 to 59 and $40,000 for inmates 80 or older. A specialized unit for cognitively impaired inmates in the New York State system costs more than $90,000 per bed per year, more than twice the figure for general inmates.

Many inmates, obviously, can never be released, and they will continue to require special care. But the states must pursue other avenues as well. They can foster partnerships between prisons and nursing homes to improve the quality of care; consider compassionate release programs for frail inmates who no longer present a threat to public safety; and, no less important, revisit the mandatory sentencing policies that did away with judicial discretion and filled the prisons to bursting in the first place.

When the once “inmates” become residents of “homes” the potential for wandering will present problems that did not concern the prison systems, but will absolutely threaten the communities’ municipal resources as 60% of the afflicted population will wander. The ability to track residents and locate them quickly will protect them from harm and reduce what could be a financial catastrophe for local communities as a missing person’s search often runs $30,000 or more.

GTX Corp with its patented 2-way GPS technology and the Aetrex Navistar GPS Footwear System provide care givers assurances unavailable with other solutions. Watch this: CNET story on the first GPS enabled tracking shoe.

Millions of seniors with dementia will wander in search of their lost memories. While we can’t find those remembrances, we can find the lost victims t

The Mayo Clinic describes Alzheimer’s and the problem of Wandering: The disease can erase a person’s memory of once-familiar surroundings, as well as make it extremely difficult to adapt to new surroundings. As a result, people who have Alzheimer’s may wander away from their homes or care centers and turn up lost, frightened and disoriented — sometimes far from where they started.

“Wandering is a behavior that happens mainly as a result of declining cognitive skills,” says Beth Kallmyer, director of family and information services at the Alzheimer’s Association in Chicago. “The loss of memory impacts their ability to discern where they are.”

Today, more than 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. That number is expected to grow to 20 million in the coming years, according to Andrew Carle at George Mason University.

More than 60 percent of people who have Alzheimer’s wander at some point, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Often, someone who’s wandering is: searching for something, escaping from something or reliving a past event. This can and does happen often. And it stresses the care giver as much if not more than the afflicted.

While there is no solution to Alzheimer’s or wandering, there is a GPS Tracking device embedded discretely in a walking shoe that will enable care givers to locate a wanderer within a minute, know the direction they are moving and at what speed – walking or in a vehicle.

The GPS Shoe tracking technology was developed by GTX Corp and is available in the Aetrex Navistar GPS Footwear System. Watch this video from CNET and regain your peace of mind.
