In preparation for elderly people who may have dementia going missing, an increasing number of local governments are distributing stickers with QR codes that can lead to their discovery and protection.
Tatebayashi City announced that it will introduce an information sharing service on May 29th. Stickers with QR codes will be attached to the clothes and belongings of elderly people, and if they go missing, a notification will be automatically sent to up to 10 pre-registered family members when the finder scans the QR code.
The Oura-Tatebayashi area is also scheduled to introduce the service within this fiscal year, and efforts are being made to strengthen the monitoring system throughout the region.
