Here is a GPS tracking system designed for the elderly, chronically ill, and such. GeoSkeeper comes with quad-band GSM/GPRS module, built-in microphone and speaker, and of course the GPS receiver. What you can do with that is set geofencing for your absent minded grandpa and get a text data whether they wonder to far.

Fitted with a distress button and integrated active GPS system, it can activate a warning signal when needed, supply accurate location tracking

and get instant assistance when and where it is needed.

geoSkeeper allows the user to invent phone calls when in distress; it has speed dial buttons which can be programmed in to shout a close relative or even a doctor. that GPS tracking system plus GSM phone just came out at an electronics show in Barcelona and we do not know how much it’ll cost just yet… (more…)
