• “Imagine if your aunt, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, has wandered out the front door and you don’t know when
  she left or how long she’s been gone,” begins 12-year-old Abbi Paul, a student at Argyll Scotland’s Dunoon Grammar
  School, in her pitch to a panel of industry leaders in London earlier this summer. “Did you know that 50% of wandering dementia patients die if not found within 24 hours of leaving home alone?” she asks. “What if your grandfather, who lives alone, has fallen and no one knows for a day, leaving him on the floor unable to get up?” continues her classmate, Rory Orland, also 12 years old.
