Abstract :
Location based services of trackers can keep dementia patients safe, but traditional GPS tracker or smartphone based solution device need to be removed for recharging or when taking bath. A water-proof Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tag with a CR2302 battery can be used over a year so that it can be worn all the time. By combining BLE technology, smartphones and cloud services provided by Google, we can build a practical location and tracking system with minimal cost.
