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.
