There has been quite a bit of discussion around tracking – in general and also in dementia care. Research shows that people with dementia tend to agree with being tracked for their own safety – they generally see it as for their own benefit rather than as a huge invasion of privacy. One thing I like about the Danish legislation on this is that if the person says they don’t want it, this is respected. Further actions can be taken if it is felt it is necessary to have GPS, but it will only be approved if the care team can document they have tried several other approaches for keeping the person safe.

It sounds like it could be misused ,behaviours could be missed, and false securities developed on the behalf of the carer.
