Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point served as...

Area of Science:

Gerontology and Assistive Technology
Human-Computer Interaction
Health Informatics

Background:

Aging populations frequently experience challenges with misplacing household items, impacting daily routines and independence.
Technological advancements offer memory aids to assist older adults in locating lost objects, reducing stress and search time.
A comprehensive review of existing technologies for misplaced object retrieval is currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

To understand the current technological landscape for retrieving misplaced household items.
To identify key features, challenges, ethical considerations, and usability concerns of these technologies.
To provide a foundation for future development and innovation in assistive memory aids.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive scoping review was conducted using multiple databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, etc.).
Studies were included if they described a tested technology for misplaced object retrieval in a home setting and were peer-reviewed and in English.
Data screening and extraction were performed independently by two reviewers, with discrepancies resolved through discussion or a third reviewer. Thematic analysis was used for data interpretation.

Main Results:

The initial search yielded 6556 records, indicating a substantial body of research.
The full results of the scoping review are anticipated upon its completion in December 2025.

Conclusions:

This review will offer developers and researchers a guide to current technologies, their functionalities, and limitations.
The findings aim to stimulate innovation in memory aid technologies for older adults.
The review will highlight the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and address gaps in technology translation for successful adoption.
