A person tag, explained plainly

Nudgent's person tag is for someone who looks after a person with dementia who sometimes walks out of the home without telling anyone. A small Bluetooth tag stays with the person. If it goes out of range of your iPhone, Nudgent tells you.

What it does

• Tells your iPhone when the tag goes out of range (usually the same floor or a few rooms away, depending on walls).
• Shows where your phone was when the tag was last in range, and when. That is close to where the person was then, within Bluetooth range.
• Waits a moment before alerting, so a tag that blinks out of range doesn't raise a false alarm.
• Can alert only at certain hours (for example at night) or only while your phone is at home.
• Keeps everything on your iPhone. There is no account and no Nudgent server holding the person's information.

What it doesn't do

• It does not show where the person is now. A tag shows range, not location.
• It does not keep anyone safe on its own, and it is not a way to stop someone leaving.
• It can't alert if Bluetooth, the phone or Nudgent is switched off or closed, or if the tag's battery is flat or the tag has been taken off.
• It alerts only the phone that is watching. It does not message other people.
