PressTV... A Japanese city has offered a new initiative to track elderly people with dementia.
Officials in the city of Iruma say the novel idea includes attaching barcodes containing personal information to the fingers and toes of those who have Alzheimer’s.
The one-centimeter square tag uses a system of QR codes and holds an address, telephone number and special identity number for each user.
The unique identity number will help concerned families find missing loved ones. Officials also say the adhesive chips remain attached to the nail for an average of two weeks; even if they get wet.
