Dementia watch – the emergency call watch for people with dementia or dementia

The dementia watch for people with dementia and what you need to consider:

Dementia, also known as Alzheimer's, is one of the most common diseases among older people and can lead to devastating consequences if the disease worsens and those affected cannot be constantly monitored.

In order to determine at an early stage whether dementia is present or not, there is a test procedure to diagnose the disease in a few minutes - the clock test. The clock test is one of many test procedures for dementia that can be carried out very simply and in just a few minutes. To complement the watch test and validate the diagnosis, another tool for early dementia detection is always used, for example MMST or DemTect. The clock test is used on people between the ages of 65 and 85 and in Germany the method of Shulman (1993) is usually used. Sometimes, but rarely in German-speaking countries, the variant according to Sunderland et al. (1989) used. To look up exactly how the tests work, take a look here: https://www.netdoktor.de/krankenen/demenz/uhrentest/ Depending on the evaluation of the clock test, you can see how advanced the dementia has already been in the affected person and can be responded to accordingly.

The diagnosis of Alzheimer's naturally causes great concern, especially among relatives, as it is difficult to constantly monitor the sick person. A solution to this could be an emergency watch or an emergency call bracelet. This is a type of dementia watch that makes it possible to track affected people using GPS, stay in touch with them and trigger an emergency call if the motion sensor reports that a person is unconscious. What is important about a dementia watch is that it is a watch with a safety clasp so that those affected do not constantly take the watch off. A dementia watch could have the setting to notify relatives via app or SMS by pressing an emergency trigger. In addition, you can ask yourself whether, when choosing a dementia watch, you are more likely to go for an emergency call watch, which not only notifies relatives, but also notifies an emergency call organization such as the rescue service.

In addition, a dementia watch should have an additional function such as a medication reminder and should be made of comfortable material to wear.
