The app works on two levels. When the application is installed on a user's smartphone, healthcare providers, for instance, are able to track, in real-time, the location of their charges on a central computer system.
Then, there is the app's mobile function. Because it was designed for the elderly, who may not always be comfortable using smart phones, the app tracker features very basic instructions.
Pressing the 'help', for instance, will send out an alert to the server, as well as an SMS to the person's caregiver. The SMS is attached with a map that pinpoints the location of the mobile phone user.
