How does it work?    The system is comprised of either a pendant or a watch which is worn by the person living with Dementia / Autism. The pendant/watch emits a pulse using a specific frequency.  This pulse is detected using a Radio Tracking Unit and a Directional Finding Aerial.  As the tracking unit approaches the pendant / watch, the stronger the pulse will be heard.
                      
                                                   
How much does it cost?        There is no cost associated with having one of these pendants/watches.   Auckland Land Search and Rescue (Auckland LandSAR) fundraises to purchase the pendants/watches which cost $280 each and the battery replacements cost $60 each. 

What are the benefits?          The benefit of the WandaTrak Tracking system is that it gives peace of mind to the families and helps to reduce the stress on the missing person.  It also reduces the amount of resources required by Auckland Land SAR and Police when searching for the missing person.

How do I get one?     If you are looking after a person suffering from Dementia and who is regularly wandering from their place of residence, please contact Auckland LandSAR on their email: info@aucklandsar.org.nz or by calling the Alzheimers Society.  We would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate how the pendants/watches work and to discuss your needs.
