National GPS company Rocky Mountain Tracking, Inc. has partnered with Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. to support Aetrex’s Navistar GPS footwear system. Although the system can be used for a wide variety of
applications, their most common use is to help protect and find
individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia who have a
tendency to wander and become lost.
Tom Baranowski, General Manager of Rocky Mountain Tracking, Inc. says, “We are very pleased to partner with Aetrex to provide this valuable GPS tracking shoes to a wider audience, beyond the medical arenas. The Aetrex Navistar GPS shoes are really great shoes, but the primary feature of these shoes is they can be life-saving in the case of an emergency. They allow caregivers and family members to live their lives a bit more worry-free.”
The shoe has an embedded GPS device in the base of the right heel that provides real-time tracking. The GPS device relays the GPS data to a central monitoring station, accessible from a tracking website. The shoes are comfortable and feature contemporary styling. With two styles and colors to choose from, there is a pair that can satisfy every customer. The Aetrex GPS tracking shoes are now available for purchase at www.RMTracking.com.
If a loved one wanders off too far from a pre-set location of your determination — which is also called a geozone or geofence — you can be notified with an email or text to your mobile device. In addition, the on demand feature can be used to locate the wearer at any time in case of an emergency.
To access the tracking website, customers must enroll in a separate tracking plan, for an additional fee, but that cost is minimal when compared to the cost of an emergency search for a lost individual and to the peace of mind the shoes provide.
