Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative mental illness that usually affects the elderly. Since the patient requires round-the-clock care, it also deeply affects the lives of the caregivers who have to give up their means of livelihood to personally care for the patient. Modern day technology aims to provide a more convenient way to monitor and track patients using sensing devices and wearable technology. This paper elaborates on the various tracking mechanisms available today with their strengths and flaws, and proposes an alternative technique which uses a combination of existing indoor and outdoor tracking systems.
