 Project Lifesaver is a cooperative program with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office. State-of-the-art technology is used to assist those who care for individuals with Alzheimer's and other dementias. The program provides the technology needed to quickly locate someone who has become disoriented and lost. The ability to find someone quickly prevents injury and provides peace of mind to caregivers. This program can also be used for locating children with autism, Down Syndrome, or other brain disorders.
People participating in the program wear a bracelet that contains a transmitter with a personal recorded frequency that can be tracked on foot, by car, or by helicopter. Each one-ounce battery-operated radio transmitter emits an automatic tracking signal every second, 24 hours a day. |
