Name and Description
According to the United States Census, The largest
segment of the population is the elderly, age 65 and older (2010
Census Shows 65 and Older Population Growing Faster Than
Total U.S. Population, 2011). Of this segment 1 in 9 will have
Alzheimer’s disease (2015 Alzheimer’s Statistics, n.d.). In some
states, when an elderly individual wanders away from home and
does not return as expected, law enforcement is contacted and a
“Silver Alert” is issued to request the public’s assistance in
locating the individual. This is how the name Silver Alert
tracking device got its name. The device is designed to be worn
by the vulnerable adult and when they do wander off
unexpectedly, law enforcement can activate a radio signal that

2. can be received by nearby patrol vehicles to facilitate a speedy
return home. Also known as the
GPS for “people” Silver alert can be used virtually anywhere
and everywhere with its easy to use capabilities. Silver alert
identifies the need and is willing to go the extra mile in order to
protect our loved ones.
“You cannot put a price on a life”
Value
The value is immense when it comes to silver alert.
Today’s families are very busy with careers and raising children
that often times makes it very difficult to keep track of elderly
parents. These parents are often the ones who wander off
unexpectedly and sometimes forget how to get back home. The
Silver Alert tracking device is designed to give these families
peace of mind that their loved ones can be found quickly, before
any potential harm can befall them. In the event of missing
persons, law enforcement and emergency first responders spend
countless of hours with search and rescue. This system also
benefits first responders who often spend many man-hours
search for these persons. The radio beacon transmitted by the
device allows first responders to quickly locate the person.
There is also value to the wearer of the device knowing that if
they become lost, someone can quickly find them and help them
return home. “Rest assured you can count on Silver alert!” The
value of Silver Alert simply is immense, it aids in the process
of preserving life. Nothing is worse than losing contact with a
loved one and being unaware of their condition, this can lead to
feelings of helplessness and despair, our goal here at Silver
Alert is to provide a firm foundation of confidence for families
in time of need. For example, when our country underwent the
horrific tragedy of 9/11 many families had no idea where their
loved ones were for weeks and some even years! Can you
imagine living with a sense of hope mixed with doubt every
single day? Over 2,500 victims died in this horrific tragedy and

3. each live mattered. A family deserves to know the status of
their loved one and we here at Silver Alert are motivated every
day to be that support.
“Rest assured…you can count on Silver Alert!”
Need
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation as of
December 31, 2014, there were 8,311 unidentified person
records in NCIC. During 2014, 876 unidentified person records
were entered into NCIC, an increase of 1.2 % from the 866
records entered in 2013.* The records entered in 2014 consisted
of 650 (74.2%) deceased unidentified bodies, 26 (3.0%)
unidentified catastrophe victims, and 200 (22.8 %) living
persons who could not ascertain their identity. In 2014, 609
records were canceled or cleared by the entering agency for
reasons such as the remains being identified or the record being
invalid. This was a 13.9% decrease over the 707 records
canceled in 2013. (https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ncic/ncic-
missing-person-and-unidentified-person-statistics-for-
2014#five) With the baby boomers rapidly reaching retirement
age, and the fact that many of them will develop cognitive
disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, some form of tracking
device will speed the recovery of these individuals should they
wander off or forget how to return home. A tracking device can
also reduce the manpower necessary for searching for someone,
if they are wearing the tracking device, a signal can be activated
that would aid in locating them much like the LoJack system
used for locating stolen cars. Today’s families are very busy
building careers, and raising children that even if the at risk
family member were to move in with their children, there is still
a risk of them wandering off, the Silver Alert tracking device
will help them find their loved one before anything bad can
happen to them. Silver alert is also versatile meaning it can be
used for children, special needs persons and much more. The
idea is simple and it is to be able to locate loved ones in a time
of crisis and confusion, Silver alert can aid in the process of

4. making this easier by locating your loved one. You cannot put a
price on the safety and security of someone that you care about.
This is what creates a huge demand for something like this. If
we can put microchips on our pets to locate them how much
more important are our loved ones? Silver alert identifies the
priorities of the people and allocates them accordingly.
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia delete a person’s memory so
that familiar surroundings become non familiar, making it
almost impossible to get use to a new environments. The
disorientation of the illness often leads to traveling alone and
confused, this is a very serious concern for many families and
caregivers who worry that their loved one may become
frightened, lost or can potentially walk into a dangerous
situation. (GPS Tracking systems help the Elderly)
Our simple solution starts with GPS devices that have been
specially engineered to address the needs and wants of people
that have some debilitating issues. Most seniors often find using
standard cell phones very bothersome or challenging. (Older
Adults and Technology Use)
Losing and misplacing these devices can also prevent any
meaningful utilization for location identification or
communication.
Our GPS-enabled personal locator would include an alert button
and with one simple press they will be connected with their
family member or caregiver. Seeing how everyone is different,
this device can be worn in a few different ways.
Our device can also offer another level of security to a senior in
a senior citizen home or a facility where medical treatment is
obtained. This revolutionary GPS systemwill offer many
different options.
With the owning of this GPS device, it will be able to be
controlled from your smart phones, IPads or PCs!
Technical Features
· An easy network that will link their GPS-enabled device to a
family member and caretaker’s smart phone or computer.

5. · Present time tracking with the ability to manually group
reporting intervals
· Designation of “Green zones or Safety zones” so that the
family member or caregiverwill be notified when an senior
personal leaves the zone
· Voice Recognition capabilities
· Ambient temperature gauges to avoid heat strokes for elderly
people.
· Ability to closely watch the senior's GPS device and be able to
listen in to their environment
· Vocal conversation through the GPS device and a smart phone
· The ability to text as an additional means of communication
from one device to the other
· A quick Alarm button can be activated which sends a “danger
signal” to the device in which it is hooked up too
· If not acknowledged by the person with whom the device is
associated with, the Alert Button will then be sent to additional
responsible parties including the police, first aid-responders,
and E-911
· Single-button dialing to connect with a designated member to
make it simple for the senior
· Access to the GPS network so that family member or the
caregiver can determine the senior's location at all times. Map
views and street views are instantly available ( through Google
Map)
· The full reporting system can be managed completely with a
single click and or voice command
The technical features of Silver Alert keep safety in mind while
being practical at the same time. We at Silver Alert think of the
worst case scenario and try to turn it into the best case scenario
for the consumer. With all of these technical features a
customer may be overwhelmed however this device is very user
friendly. All the consumer has to remember is when in trouble,
hit the red button!
Making you look good while keeping you safe!
–Silver Alert

6. Aesthetic Features
· Choice of a sleek and stylish watch, bracelet or necklace.
· Different variations of colors and textures.
· Gorilla Glass for the screen that is ballistic and is “crack” free
guaranteed.
· Universal sizes (for both watch, bracelet and necklace)
· Waterproof (up to 250 meters deep)
· Indoor and outdoor tracking capabilities
· Bluetooth capabilities
· Shock Resistant
The Silver Alert merchandise has a modern and minimalist look.
Due to the simplified interface we align usefulness with
desirability. Most interfaces proposed so far for GPS devices
offer limited user-friendliness to consumers: screens are small
and information is often showed with small characters making it
hard for elders to read; small buttons are used to navigate in the
interface making it hard for people with arthritic conditions to
press the buttons. We have designed an interface that is much
more effective while increasing the desirability of the product
as a whole.

Can you really put a price on the safety of your loved one? Most
senior tracking devices can retail up to 299.99 plus tax and
shipping and handling. (GPS tracking systems help Elderly).
These devices will only do about 1/3 of what our new and
improved GPS device has to offer. Our device will retail at
400.00 no tax and shipping handling charge. Then, you will
simply download our app to your cell phone (data and
messaging costs may be applied depending on your carrier).
Silver Alert is working in partnership with local medical

7. insurance agencies to get a portion of the cost covered for the
buyer.
The only real problem that may factor is making sure that your
loved one is always wearing their device. This device has a
plethora of differently looks. The main one, for texting and
voice control will either be a watch that can be fastened around
the wrist, or worn as a trinket around the neck. The screens will
have printing big enough to make it an easy read and the keys
will be digital. This product will be made out of gorilla glass
and water proof up to 250 meters. If the member doesn’t
understand how to use this basic model, all they would have to
do is press the Alert (red panic) button and then talk. With this
device, it’s simple and easy to use!
Conclusion (Why Silver Alert?)
The facts alone do not lie. Elders that are diagnosed and suffer
from dementia or Alzheimer’s make up the vast majority of
missing-adult cases, this is sad but true. According to the
national database approximately 2,300 Americans are reported
missing—every single day. This number includes only those
that are reported. Silver Alert’s capabilities can dramatically
reduce this number by just the simple click of a button! Silver
Alert is equipped with the top of the line technology. The Silver
Alerts capabilities can pin point a missing person at the touch
of a button. Silver Alerts security is intertwined with local law
enforcement/first responder databases to ensure consumer
safety. Needless to say all of these features revolve around one
thing which is “peace of mind”. So what are you waiting for,
get the added security that you need for your loved ones today!
