Safety that respects dignity.
For people living with dementia, the goal is to stay safe without being confined. The Navigil telecare solution helps care teams keep watch quietly — supporting independence rather than restricting it.
Keeping someone safe without taking their freedom.
Dementia brings particular risks — disorientation, leaving home and not finding the way back, and long stretches where a carer simply can't be present. The hard part is protecting someone without hemming them in. Good dementia care holds both at once: safety and dignity.
The most valuable functions
For people living with dementia, these capabilities often provide the greatest value — worn as an ordinary watch with the dementia strap's secure clasp, backed by the Navigil Service.
GPS location
If someone becomes disoriented or can't remember the way home, responders and caregivers can locate them quickly — faster assistance, less time searching, and greater safety outdoors.
Geofencing (safe zones)
Virtual safe areas around places like home, a day centre or a relative's house. If the person leaves the defined area, the platform can raise an alert — early notification before a situation escalates, while still supporting independent movement.
Two-way voice communication
After an alarm, a responder can speak directly through the watch — reassuring the wearer, understanding the situation, and guiding them until help arrives.
Worn all day
Unlike a mobile phone, a watch is far more likely to stay with the person all day — so protection continues through walks, shopping and daily activities, with nothing extra to remember to carry.
Alarms and location are handled by the care team in the Navigil Service — the wearer simply wears the watch.
How protection works in practice.
The wearer simply wears the watch — with the dementia strap's secure clasp, it stays on the wrist through the day. In the Navigil Service, the care team draws safe zones around the places that matter: home, a day centre, a relative's house. If the person leaves a zone, the platform raises an alarm and shows their live location, so a carer can reach them quickly — before disorientation turns into a crisis. A responder can speak to the wearer through the watch on the way, and the wearer can press the SOS button for help at any time. Protection follows the person — on a walk, out shopping, wherever the day goes — without locking a single door.
Confidence for carers, freedom for the person.
Care teams and families gain quiet confidence that someone can move about their day while help is close if it's needed. Safe-zone alerts and one-button SOS mean a person can keep their independence without being watched over every minute. Safety becomes the means; dignity and independence stay the point.
