On Track
What is ‘On Track’ ?
‘On Track’ uses GPS technology to help people with dementia
maintain their independence.
The Project aims to reduce demand for health and/or
social care by: Reducing admissions to nursing/residential care home
Reducing the need for carers respite
Reducing hospital admission and bed usage
Positive impact on other public services through reduced police call-
outs
The project contributes to an improved quality of life for
people who use services by: Reducing the stress of worry on both the user and the carer
Safety of service user
Quality of life of carer
Case study Mr & Mrs D
Mrs D was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s nine years ago and had gone
missing a couple of times before and this worried Mr D who is her
full-time carer.
“The device always knows where my wife is. It gives me peace of
mind. I know that if she goes missing I can contact the centre and
they will be able to find her.
“I can talk through it as well, so sometimes I take my wife out and
someone from the centre will call through the watch to check we’re
ok. I can tell them that we’ve gone out and when we expect to get
back. It’s really easy to use.”
•Mrs D used the Vega device for 9 months before going into residential
care
•Mr D felt Mrs D would have gone into care 3 months earlier without
the use of the Vega device
3 “extra” months living at home
Cost of Vega device - £560 Cost of 3 months residential care - £7K
= Saving to Havering ASC of c£6.4 K

Conclusions • The category of ‘Evidence’ ranked highest in terms of the area where respondent
organisations would most benefit from support.
• ‘Older people’ was overwhelmingly identified as the area with the most to benefit from
telehealthcare services. 71% of respondents chose this category as having the greatest
potential to benefit from telehealthcare.
• Next to ‘Older people’, the categories of ‘Carers’, and ‘Learning disability’, are closely
aligned around potential benefit.
• The themes of ‘information-sharing’ and ‘partnership working’ are evident in the survey
responses. The appetite for sharing of best practice and implementation experiences from
around the country is clear from the qualitative responses.
• Responses support the image of a sector undergoing development, with a number of
‘underdeveloped’ or ‘basic’ rankings being qualified by comments relating to service
reorganisation and Better Care Fund implementation planning.
