SmartSole GPS - Tracker for people with Alzheimer's, dementia and autism

About the solution

In 2002, 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped and held captive, prompting Patrick Bertagna to think "What if we had tracking devices in our shoes?" That said, Patrick moved forward with this project, thus becoming the world's first wearable GPS technology company.

Currently, despite the idea having arisen due to another context, Patrick's greatest motivation is the millions of people with Alzheimer's, dementia, autism or traumatic brain injuries who have a memory disorder and, for that reason, tend to get lost .

Initially the idea was to create a "Smart Shoe", but due to the fact that different people want different shoe designs, Patrick simplified his idea by embedding the GPS in a sole, so that it can be used with any type of shoe.

This device must be charged every day and requires a service plan to automatically update the user's location.

As the company's CEO and inventor, Patrick ensures that he will not stop moving forward and will constantly continue to work on new solutions to help caregivers. In the future, the goal is to create a SmartSole capable of monitoring the user's health and well-being.
