Theft is our number 1 problem.
If it’s small and can be put in a pocket or bag, it will be stolen.
A simple google search will show you how prevalent this crime is in senior housing care facilities, amongst caregivers providing in-home care and generally as the number one crime committed against the elderly.
Staff, residents, family members and volunteers have all been perpetrators in our facilities.

Tiny particles (“nanoparticles”) in the bloodstream and a wearable device equipped with special sensors could work together to help physicians detect, monitor and cure diseases or chronic symptoms.
Designing nanoparticles, binding them to target cells, detecting them with a non-invasive device, and counting them. Measuring gradual changes in common elements of the blood, e.g. too much sodium or potassium
