Hi guys,<\/p>\n

Today, I wanted to introduce and highlight the GPS SmartSole by GTX Corporation.  This particular device is intended to act as tracking system for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.  However, after spending a little while thinking about the usefulness of this product, it could definitely be utilized with individuals with Autism Spectrum disorder and those with intellectual disabilities that are at risk of wandering\/eloping. <\/p>\n

Interesting bit of kit, the SmartSole is an inner sole with a hidden smartphone sealed within a water resistant shoe insert that can be \u2018tailored\/trimmed\u2019 to the wearer\u2019s foot size.  The unit retails for $299 and also requires a monthly plan starting at approximately $15 per month for the economy package (does not include geofencing and other features).  This device allows the caregiver to discretely monitor the location of their loved one to assist with keeping them safe through use the Smart Locator iOS app.  In addition, the device\u2019s software\/app allows Geofencing and the creating of geographical zones that trigger alerts to support loved ones staying in a specific vicinity versus possibly wandering off towards dangerous locations.  It also shares the battery status of the device with loved ones to ensured charging occurs on a regular basis.  Finally, the app can determine if the wearer is moving, when they started to move and provide very specific locations based on the GPS including street names\/cross-streets (pus city blocks, depending on locality).<\/p>\n
