Wandering Alert Without GPS Tracker Device: Geofence Guardian
Imagine a scenario where a loved one who tends to wander is at risk of getting lost, yet they refuse to carry an additional device. This is a common situation for many caregivers and families. The Geofence Guardian module from AlvoTriX offers a solution by transforming the Android wearable they already own into a wandering alert system, eliminating the need for an extra GPS tracker device.
What the Geofence Guardian Does
The Geofence Guardian module allows you to set a virtual boundary around a safe area. If the wearer crosses this boundary, an alert is sent to the caregiver's device. This feature helps in monitoring without the need for an additional GPS tracker, leveraging the technology already available on your loved one's Android wearable.
