Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

Safety is everyone's concern. More than 3.5 million Americans live with an autism spectrum disorder and over 5 million Americans & 750,000 Canadians living with dementia. People affected by Autism or dementia tend to wander unknowingly putting their safety at risk. Therefore, caregivers require a tracking device to ensure safety of their loved ones. Unlike other tracking devices that only use Bluetooth or GPS, WeTraq designed and developed by StrategicSmart Inc., has overcome the limitation of geography, size & limited battery life. In the current proposal StrategicSmart Inc. is developing a mobile application that will enable the device to connect wirelessly with your smart phone, which allows remote monitoring of devices by providing seamless interaction using global GSM Network. WeTraq device uses a rechargeable battery and has an inbuilt sleep mode functionality to prolong battery life. This device will play a vital role in the lives of families having loved ones affected by Autism and Dementia, helping them ease their anxiety about their safety. This mobile application with a user friendly interface will be a great tool to encourage ""not tech savvy"" users to use WeTraq. This will help StrategicSmart Inc. to sell their product to more customers and therefore have more sales and increased revenues.
