Abstract
A SCGP may provide a smart location guide (e.g., via GPS) to help keep the user from wandering off and getting lost. The SCGP may help the user travel independently via bus, car, and on foot. The SCGP may also notify the caregiver if the user wanders off or gets lost and may generate reports (e.g., via text, charts, graphs) showing the caregiver situations in which the user is likely to wander off or get lost. The SCGP may facilitate staying in touch with the user by allowing the caregiver to send the user reminders and important information, and to share pictures, videos, text messages, and voice messages with the user.
