A SEXTANT FOR THE NOSE
An AI-powered wearable that creates personalized olfactory navigation trails to help dementia and Alzheimer's patients find their way back home when lost. Our device learns safe routes, creates invisible scent pathways using micro-encapsulated fragrance markers, and detects deviations from familiar territory—releasing increasingly stronger familiar scents to guide users back like an invisible thread.
An elderly woman who has wandered 6 blocks from home and is panicked by unfamiliar streets suddenly catches the faint whiff of her grandmother's lavender garden growing stronger as she turns the corner—her ScentPath bracelet gently pulses and the scent intensifies with each correct turn, guiding her home like an invisible thread while simultaneously alerting her family that she's safe and on her way back.
$299/device + $49/month monitoring software. Selling directly to 40,000+ memory care facilities in the US who spend an average of $12,000/month per resident on emergency response and wandering incidents. The facility pays, not individual families—making adoption frictionless.
