VESAG is a comprehensive service to support senior citizens and Dementia patients. VESAG provides vital support by providing the location information (patient tracking) and a means to communicate with them. It acts as a programmable secondary memory. 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 tasks such as taking medication at the prescribed time. In more advanced version it can detect fall and monitor the key health parameters such as heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, body weight, etc. and transmit the data to a central monitoring station through wireless technology, which can then be forwarded to a doctor or a care giver for periodic monitoring. VESAG stores all the past medical history, current medications, specific allergies and the contact information of care givers which can be used during emergencies. Care givers can set thresholds for critical health parameters to alert by SMS/voice call when these thresholds are crossed.

Such a comprehensive system can provide a tremendous emotional relief to care givers by ensuring a constant round the clock digital monitoring. Patients will benefit with the additional digital memory support and the freedom to move in the society.
