Our Solution:
Text To Locate Tracking Capability
Did you know?
• Family members and loved ones can text a member’s device and receive their exact GPS location? In an instant?
Overview :
A family member or friend is able to send a SMS message to the PERS device that their participant is wearing. Once the text is sent, the device will reply back it’s exact GPS location using Google Maps.
How It Works :
1. A family member or friend will have to be listed as a contact for the member so they can text the device.
2. Text “Find Mom”
3. The device will then return the location of Mom (provided device powered ON) The feature uses GPS and advanced WiFi location services
4. It will send the first valid location it receives back from the device.
This solution has been wildly successful. A client of ours, Uncle Willie, has benefitted immensely from this feature. Uncle Willie has Dementia and wanders a lot. His nephew, Bruce, is his caregiver. One night Bruce woke up, and realized Uncle Willie was gone! He noticed that the medical alert was not on the charger, which meant Uncle Willie had it on him. That turned out to be great news, because the bad news was, it was the worst winter storm of the season! Bruce immediately texted the device and soon enough, he received his location… ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY!
Bruce immediately got in his car and quickly made his way to the location. Lo and behold, Uncle Willie was sitting on a park bench at the location that the GPS device had indicated! Bruce picked him up, and took him to his warm and safe home. The family was extremely grateful for the Text to Locate feature and don’t know where Uncle Willie would be today without it (Literally).
We learned a lot after our experience with Bruce and Uncle Willie. Our next step was to develop solutions that prevented Uncle Willie from leaving the home.
