My Areas

MyAreas primary purpose is to be a safety net for elderlies suffering from dementia and mild brain damaged in case they get lost outside their homes. The app makes it possible for these persons to become more self-reliant and to a higher extent able to move outside their homes.
The memory challenges can suddenly appear for the dementia suffers and mild brain damaged while they are heading from A to B, and as a result they forget where they are heading.
In case they derogate from the known and secure areas, the mobile will ring an alarm and buzz. They are encouraged to stand still and wait to be found. The app will help them to be found again by close relatives or caregivers.
Close relatives or caregivers will be made aware of the persons location in the app, if he/she is lost. If more than one person is responsible for the lost person, they can in the app coordinate which one of them should take action on the alert.
The secure areas in which the elderly is expected to be located in is set-up from the AwareCare portal. An area can be valid 24 hours a day, e.g. the route for walking the dog. An area can also be set to cover a specific appointment e.g. visit to the dentist.
MyAreas have been tuned with some very advanced battery management to reduce battery consumption while the app is running, in order to get the GPS location services to last as long as possible and still ensure a high level of security for the Elderly.
