HOMELESS people are being returned to their families thanks to smart technology.

Shanghai Rescue Station is using new technologies like face recognition and DNA matching to identify them.

The station rescues about 15,000 people every year, some of whom suffer from dementia or have mental problems, making it difficult to find their families, said Ding Huirong, Party secretary of the station.
