Irish researchers seeking to develop ‘tracker’ for dementia sufferers
A Waterford-based research team has secured funding to develop a “low cost” technological tool to help track dementia patients whose safety is put at risk by wandering from care settings.
Researchers at the Telecommunications, Software and Systems Group (TSSG) at Waterford Institute of Technology have linked up with partners in Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal to work on the initiative which they say will increase the survival rates of “wandering patients” and reduce stress for caregivers.
