Service Answers Growing Need to Help Protect Those with Cognitive Disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Autism
LoJack Corporation (NASDAQ: LOJN) took a major step forward in executing its diversification strategy as it launched LoJack SafetyNet, which answers a critical market need for solutions that track and rescue people at risk of wandering, including those with Alzheimer’s, autism, Down syndrome and dementia.
Currently 5.2 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s. Wandering, the most life-threatening behavior associated with Alzheimer’s, affects 59 percent of patients and 45 percent of those cases end tragically in death if the person is not located within 24 hours. Additionally, autism, which is the fastest growing developmental disability that now afflicts one in every 150 babies born, can also cause children to wander.
