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.
