Project Lifesaver

Helping Bring Loved Ones Home Safely

Project Lifesaver is a proactive safety program designed to quickly locate individuals who are at risk of wandering due to cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism, or other related disorders.

Participants wear a small personal transmitter that allows trained emergency responders to locate them quickly if they go missing. This rapid response helps reduce search times and increases the chances of a safe return.

How It Works

Fast, Reliable Search When Every Minute Matters

Project Lifesaver uses proven radio frequency technology to help locate individuals who may wander and become lost. Each participant wears a small personal transmitter that emits a unique tracking signal.

If a participant goes missing, caregivers contact local emergency services. Trained responders use specialized equipment to track the signal and quickly locate the individual, often within a significantly reduced search time.
