Project Lifesaver Interna1onal
" The success of the project lifesaver program over the last 15 years has shown our mission in “bringing loved ones home” should they have a wandering incident. While this is s?ll the clear and singular focus we also are aware of the advances in technology in the search and rescue field. Our next phase with the addi?on of “PAL” is to prevent a wandering incident before it occurs.

PAL Overview PAL differs from most other protect and locate devices in that it has GPS loca?ng and cellular communica?ons but it also allows the caregiver to create an RF (Radio Frequency) “Safezone" using the portable receiver. When the RF “Safezone" is breached the caregiver will hear an alarm and be able to stop the wandering event before it happens.
