A simple, watch-like device may be the key to locating at-risk seniors or anyone who might walk away from their place of residence. The EmSeeQ device is marketed as “integrated with law enforcement” and having accurate, national coverage for locating the wearer. The device resembles a slim watch, and includes a rechargeable battery and cellular technology to both dial a 911 call and transmit its location based on triangulation technology. The location technique allows the device to work indoors, anywhere there is cellular service, in contrast to GPS devices that require a clear view of the sky. According to EmFinders, when the wearer is reported missing, and after a report is filed with the police, the company’s operations center will “ping” the device to make a 911 call. The receiving comm center would then note the location of the device as displayed on the ANI/ALI display, and make the appropriate dispatch of personnel. The device is $275 for a one-year service plan, or $25 per month for month-to-month service. Learn more about the device and watch a video here.
