Location Tracking Coming of Age - Virginian Pilot
LoJack Corp. of Westwood, Mass., is exploring whether to market a version of its highly successful system that locates stolen vehicles to track t-risk people, such as Alzheimer’s patients. Because Alzheimer’s patients sometimes tear off valuables or accessories such as cell phones or watches when they wander, the tracking device would have to be secured to the person, said William Duvall, LoJack’s chief technology officer. “It would have to be a kind of bracelet, something not easy to get off,” he said.
