Securus, Inc. is pleased to introduce eCare, a cutting edge location-based system designed to provide comfort and confidence for the caregivers and individuals affected by Alzheimer's, Dementia, Autism, and other related cognitive disorders. A primary safety concern for these individuals occurs when they are put at risk as a result of wandering from their safe environments.
The patented technology of the compact eCare device alerts caregivers by email or text message if an affected individual wanders outside of designated "safe zones." eCare then provides the ability to track this individual in real time through a computer or mobile device. Additionally, the individual can activate eCare on his own: If he finds himself in an unfamiliar area, he can simply press the eCare alert button to activate the device, giving caregivers an instant emergency notification and alerting the eCare 24/7 Security Center. eCare subsequently utilizes GPS and Cellular Triangulation for precise indoor and outdoor tracking.
An estimated 60% of individuals affected by cognitive disorders will wander from their place of care over the course of their illness, putting them in potential danger if they become disoriented and are unable to return home. With this tendency, caregivers for individuals affected by these illnesses are challenged to keep their patients safe. Securus, the leading GPS security technology company, is proud to provide eCare, a device that enables individuals in these situations to be found quickly and easily.
