“In 2015, it was estimated that there were 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK. As a result of memory, physical and communication challenges, people with dementia may experience social isolation and loneliness. Going for a walk can sometimes be a challenge for them, which can lead to getting lost or disorientated even in familiar surroundings. These distressing experiences can result in reduced activity, increased social isolation and increased caregiver stress, so any form of technology that can support people to get out and move about more safely and confidently, such as the GPS SmartSoles is a significant quality of life improvement. We look forward to working with Possum as their mission and ours are in complete alignment – harness wearable technology to empower people,” said Nelson Skip Riddle, GTX UK Healthcare Adviser.
