How does Tap2Tag Medical alert work for those with Dementia?

Tap2Tag and those with Dementia and Alheimer's


There are 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK with this figure likely to rise to over 1 million by 2025. Around 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 have dementia. 

Dementia is actually a set of symptoms that may include memory loss or problems with language, thinking or problem-solving. A person suffering from dementia may also experience changes in their mood and behaviour. Dementia is caused when the brain is damaged by disease. Alzheimer's dease is the most common cause but can also be as a result of a series of strokes.




If you have been newly diagnosed with any new medical condition it is likely that the medication you have been prescibed will change over time. But for those with loved ones who suffer from Alzeimer's disease or dementia then the risks are compounded. Not only is there the requirement to maintain their medication and make this readily availble. But there is also the fear that if someone does go missing, how easily will it be to get them back to those who love and care for them. A simple medical alert profile will allow a first-responder to see who the emergency contacts are and how to get them home.

Tap2Tag Medical Alert





If you have a loved one who has dementia or Alehimer's disease then there is always a risk that they may wander away without purpose. It is often left to the emergency services to find and re-locate those back to the ones who love and care for them. A simple Tap2Tag medical alert bracelet will allow first-responders to gather the critical information to get them home safely.

Anyone with a complex medical condition would have been advised by their health professional to purchase some sort of medical alert device. If you have been newly diagnosed or living with dementia then it is vital that you and other healthcare professionals can access your medical information quickly and efficiently. Costing from as little as £5.49 for a wristband this could give you the peace of mind.
