Mindme Wrist Locate is specially designed for people with dementia or learning difficulties

Mindme Locate has been designed to find people who wander because they have dementia or learning difficulties.

The design is simple, with no confusing lights or buttons. It is small and light and worn on the wrist rather than around the neck or kept in a pocket. The device will operate up to 24 hours between battery charges.

Carers can look up the location of the user on Mindme’s website at any time, and as often as they wish. In an emergency they can also call the Mindme Response Centre, which is operated by PPP Taking Care, and is staffed by highly trained operators who understand the challenges of caring for people with dementia or mental impairment.

Mindme Locate uses satellites to determine the location of the user which makes it accurate to about 10 metres when outside. Because Locate reports its location around every 5 minutes, even if the wearer is out of 'sight' of the satellites - in a large tall building for example – Mindme's software can give a very good indication of their location.

Mindme Locate can be used throughout the European Union at no additional subscription cost.

Mindme Locate has a proven track record of finding people with dementia – giving carers peace of mind and users more freedom. It is recognised that Mindme Locate is so unique there are no quality standards applicable to it.
