- Abstract
Dementia is a condition where brain cells deteriorate and die faster than usual. It is not a part of the natural aging process. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for dementia. One of the signs of an elderly person with dementia is a decline in their ability to recognize direction or stay oriented. It can be a real challenge when individuals with dementia venture out of their homes and then have difficulty finding their way back. In fact, it can be very concerning if they happen to wander away from home and then encounter strangers who they cannot provide their address to. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. For people with dementia, getting lost on the road can be a serious problem. However, this issue can be solved by attaching information to the person with dementia that includes their name, home address, the names of their family members, and even a contact number that can be used to reach their family. If a system is in place that allows people to recognize those with dementia, then this self-data can be incredibly helpful. One way to generate this information is by using a QR-Code (Quick Response-Code) technology. The purpose of creating this identification system is twofold: first, to assist the public in identifying individuals with dementia who may become lost on the street by providing information about their family; second, to establish a management model for missing individuals using QR codes. The research followed the Pressman model waterfall approach to identify research variables and obtain the best system model for recognizing people with dementia who are lost on the road using QR codes. The approach involved structured steps to uncover subtle variables. According to the research findings, the management of dementia can be improved through the use of QR-Codes. Specifically, scanning the QR-Code on a person with dementia’s identification using an HP Android device will immediately display their identity and contact information. This contact information can then be used to reach out to the person’s family members through either WhatsApp or phone calls. The use of QR-Codes to identify and report lost dementia patients on the road will be more beneficial if utilized by Panti Lansia, Dinsos, and other organizations providing treatment for individuals with depression, Alzheimer’s, or temporary to permanent memory loss.
