Families with dementia usually suffer from a lot of stress from their care.

There is no day when there is a day of rest because of abnormal behaviors such as lack of sleep caused by roaming of dementia patients, suspicion and violent behavior.

In addition, family members may suffer family disagreements due to the support of demented patients, and the family may be dismantled with the issue of dependency.

The problem of support for these demented patients is not limited to the home, but also causes problems in the community. The burden of the community due to the wandering of patients with dementia, and the family problems caused by the stress of support are not limited to the assumptions of the family as a whole.

The cost of medical expenses for patients with dementia is close to 3 trillion won a year, and the number of patients treated with senile dementia has increased more than 2.0 times in the past four years (2001-2004) (2005 Annual Health Insurance Statistical Yearbook) In addition to the economic costs, it also reduces the quality of life for the elderly as well as the family.

In addition, as shown in Table 1 (data from the National Police Agency), dementia patients are rapidly increasing in an aging society. According to a survey by the National Health Insurance Corporation, the number of elderly people aged 65 or older who visited the hospital due to dementia symptoms in 2009 increased to 177,000, a five-fold increase over seven years. The cost of medical treatment for dementia has increased to more than 5 trillion won, more than 12 times. The number of demented elderly and children who are wandering the streets is increasing rapidly. It is analyzed that the increase of the elderly population, the nuclear family, and the recession are overlapped.

There are 537 nursing hospitals that treat patients with dementia as described above, and the number of beds is reported to be less than 40,000 (20,000 free beds) through the public and private sectors. About 83,000 elderly people with severe dementia who are classified as needing hospital treatment by the Ministry of Health and Welfare can not accommodate half of them.

Conventional dangling wandering prevention apparatuses have been popular as domestic products such as necklaces and wristbands, aggressive products such as mats or sensors, and foreign products such as Japan.
