Alzhemiser's Patients May Stay In Touch Wtih Caretakers With High Tech Tracking Technology

Anyone who is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, can still look forward to many years of reasonably independent existence.There are perhaps 5 million Alzheimer's patients in America. About half of Alzheimer's patients, have just been diagnosed

Alzheimer's is a really frightening disease, not just for the way it can reduce a normal functioning person into practically a zombie, but also for how easy it seems to fall victim to it. Usually it takes a long time before they can expect the disease to deteriorate their brains, and make their lives and memories disappear.

When this happens, most Alzheimer's patients are seen to exhibit symptoms like spontaneously losing track of where they are, or where they're headed. If they happen to be on a walk, or on a drive when this happens, they can get irretrievably lost.

You can find lots of stories from relatives and caretakers of Alzheimer's patients who find their lives more and more tied down to the constant care that their loved one needs with many routine functions they undertake everyday.

A lady in Texas, in charge of her father's Alzheimer's, is beginning to see some of the depressing reality of the disease in her father.

The previously self-aware and active old man would always take 5-mile-long walks around the picturesque streets of their town.

and the use of high teck tracking devices can help determine where Alzheimer's patients are at all times. The statistics are scary for the missing old. and usually there are about the same number of patients who have not been diasnosed yet.

The Silver Alerts program is something that has already been in place for a while in 11 states around the country, including Texas.

When an Alzheimer's sufferer goes missing, a predetermined set of TV and radio broadcast outlets, quickly put out a "Gone Missing" message, to help passersby identify the poor lost person.

if limited perimeter tracking devices are used by Caregivers to keep in touch with Alzheimer's patients. But for people like the daughter in the story above, there is new help from the Alzheimer's Association.

and the use of these high teck tracking devices can help determine where Alzheimer's patients are at all times.

But even GPS technology, only goes so far. It works very well when Alzheimer's patients find themselves lost; unless tracking devises are tied into cell phone towers.

A newer and better system is what is known as the Comfort Zone program. Families that opt into the system, are issued a number of transmitters. There is one for the car, one for the pocket, one to embed in the person's shoes and another one that Alzheimer's patients can wear as a wristwatch.

There are all kinds of new high-tech options available for Alzheimer's patients now, all of them, combinations of the GPS technology, mobile phone technology, and the tracking bracelet technology used on prisoners on parole.

A caretaker can look closely to see where exactly the forgetful relatives is headed, and quickly move in to cut them off, if they appear to be headed for danger. The transmitter system can also be given a perimeter around the neighborhood that the Alzheimer's patients in the family are not allowed to cross.

The moment this perimeter is crossed, family members will receive a phone call.

This is how it works. The transmitters are able to keep their bearings, with help from cell phone towers and the GPS satellites.

This is done so in real time. Some of the older systems, only used GPS; often, this wasn't a real help; in the basement of abuilding, or deep inside a large structure,

GPS can often lose track. Cell phone towers nearby though will always have access. Families still do have to maintain close supervision.

It's just that, with a little help from this kind of surveillance technology, the supervision doesn't have to be so relentless. And that would always be a great relief to any family.

Title IX: A Brief History Wtih Documents $20.6 Title IX represents a watershed in the history of girls' and women's education. In 1971, the year before Title IX was passed, fewer than 295,000 high school girls and 30,000 college women participated in their schools' athletic programs. By 2001, those numbers had increased to 2.8 million and 150,000, respectively. Through this rich collection of documents, Susan Ware shows how athletics, once viewed as a privilege, came to be seen as a right. In her introduction, she examines Title IX within the broader social and legislative history of the late twentieth century, providing her readers with a clear account of the changes taking place in educational institutions and in athletics more specifically. Her selections, each accompanied by a headnote providing context, offer a wide variety of perspectives, highlighting controversies surrounding the legislation that continue to the present. Document headnotes, a chronology, questions for consideration, and a selected bibliography offer additional pedagogical support.
