00:00Did you know, Susan, that technology is not just a big help to children,

00:04but it also has a big impact on the elderly.

00:07The difficult things to do back then can now be done easily.

00:10And there are some technologies to make the elderly feel that they are saved

00:15wherever they go when no one is watching them.

00:18That is my story that you should know.

00:20Let's go!

00:25In times of danger, it is possible to help the elderly who are alone and seem to have forgotten.

00:43With the help of a wristband,

00:46it is possible to know the details and conditions of the elderly who are wearing it.

00:55Dennis' group is making a microchip for animals.

00:59When I made the pet identity that microchipping for the pet

01:03to give permanent identification of dogs and cats,

01:07we realized that it is also more important for people to be given protection.

01:13In 2018, they started the manual construction and registration of their Bring Me Home wristband.

01:19It is possible to read the personal details of the elderly through the phone.

01:26They can go out of the house without being given protection.

01:31They don't know where to go home.

01:34According to the National Commission for Senior Citizens,

01:3714% of the 9.24 million senior citizens in the Philippines live alone.

01:4416 out of 1,000 elderly people have dementia and half of them have Alzheimer's disease.

01:51One of them is Jesus, who is 86 years old.

01:54I was in the hospital with vertigo.

01:57My eyes were spinning.

01:59I was really dizzy.

02:00I really fell down.

02:01My high blood pressure reached 200.

02:05When he was attacked, he just fell down.

02:08Because of his experience and the neighbors, he was able to take care of Jesus,

02:12especially his only companion in life, the son with autism.

02:18Jesus and other elderly people in Santa Maria, Laguna,

02:21are just a few of those who were given the free Bring Me Home wristband.

02:27I am mild stroke.

02:29I am often alone.

02:30Sometimes I forget.

02:31I think it's because of the bracelet that was given to us.

02:35With the help of the microchip in the wristband,

02:38phones with NFC or Near Field Communication can read the details of the wristband.

02:45It can be used using a very close contact device like a mobile phone.

02:52The staff of Bring Me Home provides the information to the database.

02:57This is his picture.

02:59This is his father's name,

03:01his gender,

03:02his birthdate,

03:03his emergency contact number,

03:05his body mark,

03:06medical history.

03:08If you used an ID and there was a tantrum,

03:10they can remove this.

03:12This is semi-permanent.

03:13You can't just remove it.

03:15You have to cut it.

03:16It is waterproof and does not require a battery.

03:19This is a passive type technology.

03:21When we say passive type technology,

03:23you don't need a power supply.

03:25The power is coming from the external device like phone or RFID scanner.

03:31You just need to own the NFC feature of the phone

03:34to get the details of the wristband.

03:37When we see a wristband like this,

03:39we just tap it.

03:41We will stick our phone.

03:42There you go.

03:43Gradually, the information of the father will come out.

03:46It is important in the project of Dennis,

03:48that they support the local government.

03:51Especially that they are the first to respond

03:53to the elderly who are in an emergency situation.

04:06The wristband is not just for the elderly.

04:09They also give it to those with autism

04:11and other conditions of thinking.

04:13Especially that it is estimated that

04:151.2 million Filipinos have autism

04:18according to the Autism Society of the Philippines.

04:21This program will continue.

04:25Because of the technology,

04:26the elderly can walk

04:28and there is a chance for them to be saved.

04:31Because no matter what happens,

04:33they will learn

04:35and they will be helped.
