BoundaryCare is the only real-time location-monitoring app for iPhone and Apple Watch. Designed to protect loved ones who wander because of dementia-related diseases like Alzheimer’s, BoundaryCare tracks a loved one’s location via their Apple Watch and notifies you when they leave or return to predefined safe zones.
Use BoundaryCare to:
* View the location of your loved one on a map
* Create safe zones (geo-fencing technology) that may be circles, polygons, or extended paths
* Receive notifications after a loved one leaves or returns to a safe zone
* Launch emergency tracking for continuous monitoring
* Add multiple caregivers for a loved one—or multiple loved ones for a caregiver
* Receive loss of signal notifications (if Watch is out of service or power)
* Review loved one’s location history of the past twelve hours
* Customize refresh frequency to balance battery life and safety
* Refresh location at will
* View battery level on the loved one’s watch
* Seamless handoff to Apple’s Find My app (for backup location tracking)
* Works throughout the USA.
“The tendency to become lost is shared by almost all patients with Alzheimer’s disease.” — Anthony M. Monacelli, et al., “Spatial disorientation in Alzheimer’s disease,” Neurology Dec 2003.
“If the person is still able to drive, consider using a GPS device to help if they get lost.”
— “Wandering,” Alzheimer’s Association.
Other technologies exist for providing GPS tracking, but they typically cost hundreds of dollars for a single-purpose device. Their monthly subscriptions are expensive. The devices are typically large and unattractive, and their battery may not make it through a single day.
BoundaryCare uses high quality and stylish Apple technologies that many people already own, and that can serve multiple purposes. Using BoundaryCare requires the caregiver to have an iPhone running the current version of iOS. The loved one needs an Apple Watch (Series 3, 4, or 5, GPS and cellular enabled, with cell service plan activated).
Using GPS and cellular technology, BoundaryCare will provide regular updates on your loved one’s location at the interval the caregiver selects (between 15 and 30 minutes). Emergency Tracking updates location as frequently as every 30 seconds.
BoundaryCare offers a free two-week trial. The ongoing subscription costs $14.99 per month—far less than any comparable service. Subscription covers a single loved one account, and up to seven caregivers.
