WanderID – a new identification service

WanderID is a new service that uses biometric face matching software to give you peace of mind, knowing  that your loved one can be easily identified if they wander away or get lost.

You register and upload photos of a loved one to the WanderID website. If they then get lost, a police officer or EMT could use their smart phone to take a picture and search the company’s database. That’s when the service matches their photo with ones you uploaded, so you can get reconnected with loved one. It works just as well for small children or seniors with dementia.
