Smart Wandering Prevention That Helps Save Lives

Connected sensors, smart locks, cameras, guided lighting, and instant alerts help caregivers respond before an unattended exit attempt becomes a life-threatening emergency.

6 in 10

people living with dementia may wander at least once, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Wandering can become dangerous quickly.

A resident who exits unattended may face falls, traffic, severe weather, confusion, or becoming lost. Smart wandering prevention helps reduce response time by detecting risk early, notifying caregivers immediately, and guiding staff to the exact location.

Camera views and device status help caregivers quickly understand what is happening.

Alerts Caregivers

Staff receive immediate mobile notifications with location, time, and alert type.
