How Vesag Helps Dementia and Alzheimer’s Patients

The percentage of people who are over 65 affected by Dementia is high. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and is predicted to affect 1 in 85 people globally by 2050. The early changes in someone with dementia take place so slowly that no one can say later when the changes began. It's important to know how to spot the signs and help someone who is suffering," says BUPA's Dr Graham Stokes (One of the largest Home care centres).

Caring for a loved one who is physically there but not there in spirit anymore is a stress which can have far reaching effects on families. Families suffer both physical and emotional stress dealing with Alzheimer's. There is often seemingly little reward for their efforts as sufferers are unaware of what's happening. They need help as much as the patient.

VESAG is a comprehensive service to support dementia patients that works as a digital memory. This device provides Dementia patient’s care givers vital support by providing the location information (Patient Tracking) and a means to communicate with them.  Care givers can program the device with all the key details like name, address and contact details to remind the patient when needed. At normal times, it reminds patients of the tasks such as taking medication at the prescribed time.

In more advanced version, VESAG can monitor the key health parameters such as heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, body weight etc and transmit the data to a central monitoring station which can then be forwarded to a doctor or a care giver for periodic monitoring. Care givers can set thresholds for critical health parameters to alert by SMS/voice call when these thresholds are crossed. Patients will benefit with the additional digital memory support and the freedom to move in the society.
