What is Geofencing?

Geofencing in the context of a medical alert device refers to the use of GPS technology to create a virtual boundary around a specific area. When the user wearing the medical alert device crosses this predefined boundary, the device can trigger certain actions or notifications.

This feature is particularly useful for people with cognitive impairments, dementia, or those prone to wandering, as it allows caregivers to monitor their movements and respond promptly if they stray from a safe location.
