A 15-year-old built a wearable sensor to stop his dementia-stricken grandfather from wandering at night

A young engineer, Kenneth Shinozuka, created a simple yet effective sensor sock. This device detects when a person with dementia gets out of bed at night. It then sends an alert to a caregiver's phone. This innovation addresses the critical issue of nighttime wandering. It helps prevent falls and ensures caregivers can rest.
