Massachusetts S1600 aims to enhance safety for Autistic and Alzheimer's individuals through technology-assisted tracking devices.
Massachusetts S1600 directs the Prevention and Wellness Advisory Board to recommend the use of technology-assisted tracking devices to mitigate risks for individuals with dementia, autism spectrum disorder, or Alzheimer’s disease. These devices must meet specific criteria, including being waterproof, compliant with IP66 standards, and tamper-resistant. The advisory board will also review ways to incorporate these devices into a pilot program funded by the Prevention and Wellness Trust Fund. The department of public health must implement the board's recommendations by December 1, 2025.
