Abstract

Dementia presents significant challenges for the elderly, often resulting in memory impairment and an increased risk of falls. To address these issues, this project introduces a simple tracking device designed specifically for dementia patients. The device incorporates a GPS tracking system and geo-fencing technology to alert caregivers via the Blynk platform when the wearer wanders away from designated areas. Additionally, a fall detection mechanism utilizing an MPU6500 accelerometer and gyroscope module is integrated to detect falls and promptly notify caregivers. Alerts generated by both systems provide real-time information on the wearer's situation, location, and timestamp, enabling caregivers to respond swiftly. Through rigorous testing, the device demonstrates high efficiency, accuracy, and specificity, meeting the criteria for practical use in real-world scenarios.
