みまもりあい – A Helpful App for Locating Missing Dementia Patients

みまもりあい is an Android app developed by セーフティネットリンケージ. It is a utility and tools app that aims to connect family members and facility administrators who are searching for dementia patients who have gone missing, with individuals who are willing to assist in the search. The app works by receiving search requests from concerned family members or facility administrators, as well as calls for help from specific locations within a 5km radius.

It is important to note that in order to enable the notification feature for nearby search requests and local information distribution, the app collects location data even when it is not in use. To ensure that you receive the latest information, it is recommended to always allow the app to access your location.
