We acknowledge that Project Lifesaver International Headquarters / Project Lifesaver Association of Nova Scotia isn't the only equipment available for assisting with "Keeping tabs" on loved ones !
We suggest doing the research and hopes this chart helps .. we all know how stable our cell services can be.
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Project Lifesaver and Angelsense?
Each program has a lot to offer. It's all about finding what is the right fit for each individual.
AngelSense's current device uses 4G LTE and continuous GPS, with location updates as frequently as every 10 seconds. It also has departure/arrival alerts, unexpected-location alerts, geofencing, an alarm, two-way voice, and a "Runner Mode" for an active wandering incident
Project Lifesaver is quite different. In Nova Scotia, trained volunteers from Ground Search & Rescue teams can respond, and the transmitter's unique signal can be followed by specialized equipment even when the person is stationary or moving and through obstacles such as buildings and heavy forest.
For a serious wandering risk where the priority is getting a trained search team involved: Project Lifesaver has a major advantage.
The important distinction is that Project Lifesaver isn't really a GPS tracker you use to watch someone on your phone. If the person disappears, the caregiver calls 911, and police can initiate the Project Lifesaver search response.
Simply put;
AngelSense: "Where are they right now, and can I intervene immediately?"
Project Lifesaver: "They're missing — let's get trained responders equipped to find them."
