Jeonbuk Province Provides Free Wandering Detectors to People with Developmental Disabilities

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeollabuk-do announced on the 3rd that it will provide 125 units of the wandering detection device ‘Haengbok GPS’ free of charge to prevent missing persons among people with developmental disabilities.

The free distribution of wandering detection devices is a project that supplies these devices to people with developmental disabilities and fully supports communication fees for two years.

After conducting a demand survey and receiving applications, Jeollabuk-do plans to select 125 people with developmental disabilities who need missing prevention among users of 19 daytime and after-school activity providers for people with developmental disabilities in the province.

The Haengbok GPS is worn like a wristwatch and allows real-time location tracking of the wearer through a mobile app.

If the wearer leaves the designated safe zone, an alert is sent to the guardian, and an emergency call alert for crisis situations is also possible.

Jeollabuk-do expects that the distribution project of wandering detection devices will help prevent missing incidents involving people with developmental disabilities in advance.

Inquiries about the Haengbok GPS demand survey, application, and detailed information can be made at the Jeollabuk-do Developmental Disability Support Center.
