LONDON, UK. April 25th, 2024 - Professor James Ohene-Djan from Goldsmiths, University of London, has developed MiCode, a groundbreaking digital solution to help combat the risks and dangers for individuals living with dementia.
It is very common for a person living with dementia to wander, or become lost, or confused about their location. Six in ten people living with dementia will wander and many do so repeatedly. This can be very dangerous, and some people have been known to drive cars, use heavy machinery and wander into life-threatening situations.
MiCode is a personal QR code designed to help people in times of confusion or when lost. MiCode contains vital information such as the person’s name, emergency contacts, medical conditions, and any additional data they may not be able to communicate during a crisis. This information is dynamically translated into any language. When scanned, MiCode sends the person’s location to their emergency contact, making it particularly beneficial for dementia patients who may find themselves disoriented or unable to recall critical information.
MiCode can be worn as a bracelet, keyring, or pendant, or can be printed on cards and stickers. This simple yet powerful tool acts as a beacon of information to ensure that loved ones can be quickly and correctly assisted, paving the way for their safe return.
At a £1 a month, MiCode is cheaper than a cup of coffee and is an affordable a solution for anyone who has dementia.
Charities and societies dedicated to helping people with Dementia can play a key role in conveying the benefits of MiCode. To support these organisations, MiCode Ltd is offering them the chance to generate additional funding by recommending MiCode to the individuals and families they assist.
MiCode empowers families to navigate the challenges of dementia with confidence and a bit of peace of mind! Available for £12 a year at Micode.uk.
