Creative use of technology in Staffordshire

Use of the Buddi GPS tracking device and other assistive technology aids is helping vulnerable people in Staffordshire to live a better quality of life, independently and in their community.

The Buddi is worn by individuals whose movements and location can be monitored via a call centre or directly, online, by health and social care professionals or family members.


The Tamworth Locality Adult Care Team in Staffordshire is using five of the devices to monitor people with early-onset dementia who are prone to wandering.
