The GPS Shoes will communicate via Roger’s Canada cellular network, and send location coordinates via a wireless data connection, similar to sending SMS messages on a cell phone. If the wearer of the GPS Shoes wanders outside of a pre-set location determined by the caregiver, an SMS or e -mail message will alert the caregiver instantly.
The GPS Shoes have been heralded by healthcare and technology authorities around the world, and are featured in the 100 Most Important Inventions of Mankind exhibit in the National Museum of Science and Technology in Sweden.
