Proposals for the Creation of an SOS Button for People with Dementia
December 1, 2025
The Ministry of Health is discussing the creation of an SOS button for people with dementia, which will include tracking devices like bracelets or watches. These devices will notify relatives and authorities in cases of emergencies or wandering. The initiative is a key topic in discussions of the Multidisciplinary Committee on Dementia and will be further examined. The Health Minister notes that similar practices have been adopted in other member states. The program is expected to positively impact the safety of individuals with dementia and their families.
