An app to watch over important grandparents in the area

``Mitsute net'' is a volunteer app from Shiga Prefecture that anyone can start by simply downloading the app.
If your loved one goes missing due to dementia...
Would you like to start creating a community where people with dementia can feel safe and secure when they go out?

■Your thoughts will watch over the important grandparents in the community.
``Find it net'' is a local volunteer app that is made up of the app you download and the electronic amulets you give to elderly people who may be wandering.

If an elderly person with an electronic amulet wanders around and cannot be found.
1. This electronic amulet transmits radio waves within a range of up to 45m.
2. The app “Mitsute net” catches the radio waves.
3. Automatically transmit the location information via the Internet

This will create a flow for searching, discovering, and protecting missing elderly people.

*The location information sent is only for elderly people who have electronic amulets. Your location information will not be identified if you install the app.


■Easy to install the app
Please download this app "Find it.net".
Just turn on "Bluetooth" and "location information" from your smartphone's settings screen, and the system will automatically respond when you pass the elderly person you are searching for.

There is no need for you to perform any special operations on your smartphone.


■The more volunteers there are, the higher the accuracy of location information.The more users of the app, the smaller the mesh that catches the radio waves emitted by electronic amulets (beacons), and the faster you can find a missing (wandering) elderly person. It becomes possible.


As society continues to age, there is no end to the number of elderly people going missing due to dementia.The number of people with dementia is 650,000, and the number of people with latent dementia is 1.6 million (estimated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) in 2015. The number of people affected is expected to rise to 3.02 million in 2019 and 4.45 million in 2035, making the problem serious.

Under such circumstances, ``Mitsute net'' was born as one of the ``systems to support society as a whole.''


■Notes
*The location information conveyed is only the location of the electronic amulet (beacon), and not the location information of the smartphone on which the app is installed.
*This app will constantly receive radio waves from the transmitter, which will reduce the battery life of your smartphone. Please note.

*An electronic amulet is a beacon that emits weak Bluetooth radio waves.
