Patients with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are prone to eschewing established lifestyle patterns and are vulnerable to unexpectedly losing their way. The LSCM R&D Centre offers an RFID solution that can detect Alzheimer’s patients when they wander away from their care premises. RFID readers installed near the main exits of a facility and passive UHF RFID tagged vest’s worn by patients work in tandem to detect patients as they pass through the reader exits. The system notifies staff by providing an alarm signal that goes off if a patient leaves the facility unassisted and their vest’s ID will be sent to the computer of the monitoring staff for follow up.
