How KISA GPS Tracking Works

KISA GPS Tracking combines advanced satellite and mobile network technology to provide accurate and secure location information:

  • The KISA device communicates with satellites and mobile towers to determine location.
  • It determines its location and securely transmits it to KISA’s secure Australian-based servers.
  • Only authorised carers and family members can access this data through the MyKISA portal or MyKISA app.
  • Adjustable settings allow nominated contacts to receive SMS alerts with the user’s location.
  • The system links directly to Google Maps, making it simple to see the exact location.

Common Questions About GPS Tracking for Elderly People

The best GPS tracker for an elderly person is one they will actually carry with them. Dedicated GPS tracker devices are easy to forget or lose; a better option is a device the person uses every day, with GPS built in. All KISA devices - including the Personal Alarm, KISA Phone, KISA Guardian, and KISA Companion - include GPS tracking, meaning family members can check a live location through the MyKISA portal or app without the person needing to manage a separate tracker. For elderly Australians who want independence without their family worrying, this approach works better than a standalone device.

Yes. All KISA devices include GPS tracking as a built-in feature - from the Personal Alarm worn on a lanyard, to the KISA Phone, KISA Guardian, and KISA Companion. Family members and carers can check a live location through the MyKISA portal without the user needing to do anything. This is a practical advantage over standalone GPS tracker devices, which are often left at home because they feel like an extra item to manage.

For someone with dementia, a GPS tracker is only useful if it stays on the person. All KISA devices include GPS tracking that family members can access at any time through the MyKISA portal. The KISA Personal Alarm is particularly practical for dementia - worn on a lanyard, it stays with the person without requiring them to carry or manage a separate device. Nominated contacts can also be set to receive SMS location updates. Tracking works passively, with no action required from the person wearing the device.

Family members receive location updates through the MyKISA portal and app, which can be accessed from any smartphone or computer. The device wearer's location is updated regularly and can be viewed as a live location on a map. When an SOS button is pressed or a fall is detected, an automatic SMS with a Google Maps link is also sent to nominated emergency contacts, regardless of whether they are logged into the app. Family members can also request an on-demand location update at any time through the portal.
