According to the British Daily Mail, at present, US companies have recently designed a "GPS shoe". The built-in micro-GPS system can accurately display the user's position if he is an Alzheimer's patient who has left the set area. His relatives will receive SMS or e-mail alerts. At the same time, this GPS shoe will also provide users with more free space in daily life.
The United States recently designed a shoe, priced at £ 250, built-in a miniature GPS system, similar to the car navigation system, can accurately locate the user's location
If the GPS shoe user leaves the designated safe area, his close friend or family member will receive a text message or e-mail. This positioning function can be downloaded from a smart phone or computer.
This GPS shoe is mainly used to monitor the whereabouts of patients with Alzheimer's disease and is now sold in the UK market. As relatives and friends of Alzheimer's disease are often very worried that they will lose their way, now this GPS shoe can remotely monitor Alzheimer's patients and allow them greater freedom of movement.
At present, GPS shoes sell for 250 pounds, built-in a miniature GPS system, which is very similar to the car satellite navigation system, allowing the user to locate the exact location.
Patient relatives can even set a specific “safe area†so when a patient goes beyond a safe area, they will be notified by mobile phone or e-mail.
The patient's relatives use an application software to download to a smartphone or computer and find patients who are lost. The GPS system implanted in the heel of the shoe looks no different from normal walking shoes. The GPS system cannot be seen from the outside, and the user does not feel when wearing shoes. The system includes a battery, a SIM card (used to track the user) and an integrated chip. These elements are combined to provide a monitoring and positioning function. .
There is an antenna and a USB interface on the heel of the shoe. The USB interface can be charged. It needs to be recharged about every two days. Each charge takes about two hours. Now this GPS shoe is named "Etrex navigation GPS shoes" and it is first sold in the UK market.
It is reported that Aterix navigation GPS shoes are jointly designed by Los Angeles City GTX Group and Attlex Footwear Company. GTX Group is responsible for the manufacture of miniature tracking and positioning devices.
Patrick Bottana, chairman of the GTX group, said that initially this miniature GPS system was used to make long-distance runners' training shoes, but the product was tested to benefit from Alzheimer's disease and changed its original purpose. About 800,000 people are expected to have Alzheimer's disease in the UK and Ireland. These patients are slow to think and are easily lost. Statistics show that if no lost patient is found within the first 24 hours, more than 50% of the patients will suffer physical injury.
Professor Andrew Karl of the George Mason University School of Health and U.S. School of Medicine said that such shoes can save the lives of patients and allow these elderly patients to avoid dangerous traffic accidents. This is very important for the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, in which patients have the highest risk of life.
People with Alzheimer's disease can live indoors, but their minds are ambiguous. When they go out and walk, they may not find a way back home for many days. Karl pointed out that such GPS shoes are very effective, but often this device will be rejected by patients with Alzheimer's disease, the main reason is that this psychological extreme paranoia is a manifestation of the disease.
