With the recent increase in dementia patients due to aging, measures to prevent their wandering behavior and disappearance are urgently needed. To solve this problem, various authentication methods and location detection techniques have been introduced, but the security problem of personal authentication and a system that can check indoor and outdoor overall was lacking. In order to solve this problem, various authentication methods and location detection techniques have been introduced, but it was difficult to find a system that can check the security problem of personal authentication and indoor/outdoor overall. In this study, we intend to propose a system that can identify personal authentication, basic health status, and overall location indoors and outdoors by using wristband-type wearable devices in a private blockchain environment. In this system, personal authentication uses ECG, which is difficult to forge and highly personally identifiable, Bluetooth beacon that is easy to use with low power, non-contact and automatic transmission and reception indoors, and DGPS that corrects the pseudorange error of GPS satellites outdoors. It is intended to detect wandering behavior and abnormal signs by locating the patient. Through this, it is intended to contribute to the prompt response and prevention of disappearance in case of wandering behavior and abnormal symptoms of dementia patients living at home or in nursing homes.

The aim of this study is to use media big data to understand the characteristics and changes in technology that prevents wandering and missing for dementia patients as well as supports safe walking since 1990 until recently. BigKinds as a media big data was used to conduct an analysis in two stages. In the results, first, the media reports began to be reported in the early 2000s, and it increased after 2014. Second, regarding to the characteristics of changes in technology and device utilization, there has been a change to advanced technology that combines AI and IoT, focusing on GPS. Drone has recently increased in media report, however problems of personal information security need to be resolved. Third, technology development focused on location identification by police and guardians. Based on the results, technology development and community cooperation for dementia patient were discussed.
