SIDSA designs a new GPS/GSM system for people with Alzheimer´s desease.
The "Busca", has been tested successfully with the voluntary colaboration of the Nacional Police Corp and the Spanish Federation of Alzheimer pacients .
23 September 2002 - SIDSA announces the launch of its new GPS/GSM tracking system that will be comercialized next month by the company TECNOSEARCH; for persons with Alzheimer with the colaboration of the Spanish Federation of Alzheimer families.
Alzheimer patients suffer neuronal damage which cause disorientation problems and loss of memory and frequently can not find their way back home. Their family must be vigilant at all times.
This summer the disapearance of two young girls in England was widely reported. The university of Reading is investigating implanting GSM microchip under the skin to help stop abductions.
SIDSA design is different being a more accurate dual GPS/GSM system which is pocket size and can be attached to the patient.
The "Busca" send parametric values via SMS messages (radius of accion, time elapsed or low battery) to the Base and the Control Centre, to get the position of the patient. All of these parameters are programmable for each patient. If something happens e.g one of the values are out of range, the alarm can be monitorizing by the Control Centre or in the Base Station in the patient´s house. The Control Centre will track all the patient´s steps via GPS satellites that receive the position of the "Busca" when the alarm is activated.
TECNOSEARCH had patented the "Busca" in 18 countries and offers services to the Spanish Federation of Alzheimer families. Subventions are available to purchase the "Busca" from TECNOSEARCH.
It is forseen that Alzheimer´s patients all over Spain will begin to use this engine which will be presented at the Mundial Congress of Alzheimer in Barcelona in October 2002.
