Dongdaemun-gu Dementia Safety Center Operates ‘Missing Prevention Service’
Supports ‘GPS Location Tracking Smart Devices’ and Protects Dementia Patients through ‘Love Partnership’
The Dongdaemun-gu Dementia Safety Center (District Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) announced that it is operating a ‘Missing Prevention Service’ to safely protect dementia patients by preventing missing incidents and enabling rapid discovery of wandering high-risk elderly.
The district registers the fingerprints of high-risk dementia patients and provides dementia patients’ families and care institutions with ▲identification tags ▲GPS location tracking smart devices to support the quick return of dementia patients who have left their residences back to their families.
Applications for GPS location tracking smart devices, fingerprint registration, and wandering identification tags can be made by contacting the Dongdaemun-gu Dementia Safety Center. The ‘GPS location tracking smart devices’ come in two types: wristwatch-type (Smart Keeper 2) and necklace-type (Smart Tag), allowing users to choose the more convenient option.
Additionally, the district supports GPS location tracking smart devices for solitary dementia patients who have difficulty receiving care due to the absence of caregivers and matches them one-on-one with caregivers through the ‘Love Partnership’ program. To facilitate smooth information delivery, a ‘Missing Prevention Service Briefing Session’ was held on June 13 for service applicants.
The district also established a ‘Community Missing Safety Network’ using the KakaoTalk channel ‘Dongdaemun-gu Dementia Safety Center Memory Keeper’ so that local residents can take interest and participate in the rapid discovery of missing dementia patients when missing situations occur.
