siliconindia | | AUGUST 20248Everyone will be surprised to learn that there is actually a pair of shoes that integrate GPS tracking. It is a new kind of technology that blends GPS devices with day-to-day shoes to give an entirely new way of location monitoring and tracking. The shoes have inbuilt GPS devices that update the location in real-time, therefore changing the concept of safety, security, and peace of mind. This development further turns shoes with installed GPS devices into creations that apply in a number of aspects, stretching from personal safety and care down to outdoor activities. The main purpose of the GPS shoes is to determine one's location with accuracy and reliability, this could be useful, especially for those who wander excessively, such as elderly persons with dementia, children, or the special needs individual. This would therefore give them ease in tracking and monitoring, hence a greater feeling of security for both the wearer and the caregiver. This technology is going to protect the lives of people in threat and offer peace of mind to everyone, something very significant, in particular, when it comes to personal tracking devices.How GPS-Enabled Shoes Work?The GPS tracking shoes are developed with a combination of GPS technology, cell networks, and specialized software that produces location data very accurately. Inside each shoe, there is a receiver that communicates with satellites to determine a person's location, which is then sent back to a monitoring system, accessible via a user's smartphone, computer, or other devices. These shoes need clear satellite signals to give the best locationing, so their performance may be affected in areas with obstructed signals, such as underground or deep inside buildings. However, ongoing improvements to Global Positioning Systems are making them more reliable even under difficult conditions. The shoes are usually equipped with a range of user-friendly features, such as one-touch emergency buttons and geofencing capabilities that trigger an alert to caregivers or loved ones in the event that predetermined conditions are met, like exiting a designated safe zone. In this respect, the shoes do much to increase safety, security, and peace of mind for themselves and their respective carers.EDITORIAL EXCLUSIVECAN GPS-ENABLED SHOES REVOLUTIONIZE PERSONAL SAFETY AND TRACKING?
