Those living with an Alzheimer's patient will realize that keeping an extra eye on the said person is a given considering the former has a penchant of wandering off all on his/her own accord. Well, here's a solution from Aetrex Worldwide and GTS Corp. - with a pair of shoes that feature built-in GPS transmitters. These devices are accurate within a 30 feet radius, where you can even set safety zones to prevent said patient from going away too far without any proper supervision. Hmmm, we're thinking it would be useful for kids, too, instead of just Alzheimer's patients.
