Instructables contributor Logan Prasser created a GPS device that can track a person’s movements, sending an alert when they leave a pre-specified range. The device was specifically designed to be used by people afflicted with Alzheimer’s Disease and their caretakers. It uses a microcontroller, GPS and cell modules, and batteries, all of which are housed in a 3D printed case. When the GPS module is not within a specific boundary, the device sends a text message alert, a measure that has the capacity to improve the quality of life for both Alzheimer’s sufferers and those people who love and care for them.
