The Lola Band is a thoughtfully designed safety device that empowers caregivers by providing real-time GPS tracking and automated community support for loved ones who may wander. Specifically designed to address the common concern among caretakers of individuals with dementia or autism, the Lola Band offers peace of mind by ensuring safety and swift recovery if they become lost.
