Real Time Monitoring of Children, and Adults with Mental Disabilities Using a Low-Cost Non-Invasive Electronic Device

Abstract

There are a growing number of small children—as well as adults—with mental disabilities (including elderly citizens with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of age-related dementia) that are getting lost in rural and urban areas for various reasons. Establishing their location within the first 72 h is crucial because lost people are exposed to all kinds of adverse conditions and in the case of the elderly, this is further aggravated if prescribed medication is needed. Herein we describe a non-invasive, low-cost electronic device that operates constantly, keeping track of time, the geographical location and the identification of the subject using it. The prototype was made using commercial low-cost electronic components. This electronic device shows high connectivity in open and closed areas and identifies the geographical location of a lost subject. We freely provide the software and technical diagrams of the prototypes.

Surveillance system for acute severe infections with epidemic potential based on a deterministic-stochastic model, the StochCum Method

“…With the availability and use of non-invasive microchips that collect and transmit with speed the geographical location and biometric data of the population at risk [27][28][29][30] , our surveillance system will develop into an "automatic" and robust one due to the large volume of data generated; of course, there will be the ethical dilemma of individual rights in the face of the rights of the society. Although the demand for electrical energy required by these devices to keep them running for years is still unresolved (graphene?, quartz?, and very low energy?…”
