Clients who are a part of the Project Lifesaver
program wear a radio wrist transmitter emitting
an automatic tracking signal.
Should their loved one go missing, caregivers
are instructed to immediately contact 911.
How to enrol:
If you think your loved one could benefit from
the program, a doctor's note or letter is needed.
Project Lifesaver will come to your home and
outfit the person with the transmitter, and take
note of the coordinates of the home and also
any hazards surrounding it that may injure a
wandering person.

Project Lifesaver aims to assist in
finding people prone to wandering off
Project Lifesaver participants wear a wristband
that emits a radio signal.
Project Lifesaver saves lives and further serves the community by significantly reducing
the need for extensive search and rescue operations that are often extremely costly in
human and financial terms.
Project Lifesaver is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting and responding to
the challenge to caregivers of finding wandering or bolting loved ones who may suffer
from Alzheimer's Disease, Autism or any other special needs requirements.
Clients registered with Project Lifesaver wear a personalized bracelet. It is a one-ounce
battery operated radio wrist transmitter that emits a unique automatic tracking signal
every second, 24 hours a day.
Project Lifesaver equips and trains search & rescue agencies in an active response
system to help with the increasing problem of locating wandering patients before they
fall victim to the elements, accidents or predators. It is the opinion of Project Lifesaver
that radio frequency tracking equipment, in the hands of trained public safety
personnel, represents the most reliable and effective technology available to locate
wandering loved ones.
