  1. Real time monitoring on elderly Alzheimer's patient in day care center Tracking Area- Taman Seputeh Alzheimer Day Care Centre Tagged elderly Alzheimer’s patient Real time monitoring tools Remotelylocate and collect information of tagged patient in real time by caregiver Why do caregiver NEED this innovation? The elderly Alzheimer's patient encounters risk of losing all of their memory capability and are unable to live a normal life accordingly. The short memory may let the patient to wander aimlessly and this may lead them to danger. Hence, the Alzheimer's patient needs close care to ensure their safety.

The caregivers in day care center have a tough job in monitoring closely the number of Alzheimer's patients at their day care center because of the limited number of caregivers available. Reader • Benefits/advantages • Real time patient movement monitoring using A-RFIDLS. • Enhanced patient’s security and care management quality. • Indoor and outdoor tracking remotely. • Low system implementation cost (RM 50,000). The innovation A-RTLS helps to strengthen day care center security, real time monitoring, enhance the caregiver care management quality on Alzheimer patients, alerts caregiver whereabouts of the patient in real time and help medical doctors to analyze resident's spatial movement sequence pattern for determining patient behavior problems of wandering aimlessly. • Who are the potential consumer? • Alzheimer's care centers. • Public and private residential homes for older persons. • Institutionalized care for elderly.
