One More Thing
Step Into the Global Positioning Shoe
Technology developed to track missing children now helps the families of those with Alzheimer's disease
A microchip is offering peace of mind to the families of loved ones with Alzheimer’s.
Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter.
The special chip, embedded in an ordinary shoe, tracks someone who wanders beyond a defined area near the home — and emits an alert if they do. We talk with George Mason University professor Andrew Carle, a consultant to the company that invented the GPS shoe.
