Experts predict the number of Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer�s disease, a disorder that robs victims of their memory, cognitive abilities, and personality, will triple in the next 50 years. As the disease progresses, people with Alzheimer�s may lose track of time and become increasingly disoriented. As a result, for many Alzheimer�s sufferers (and those who take care of them) wandering is a huge problem. Safe Return, a national, government-funded identification program, helps locate lost Alzheimer�s patients in a safe and timely manner. Also coming onto the scene are new tracking systems using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology that may help keep track of Alzheimer�s disease sufferers."
