Intelligent Portable Monitoring and Assistance Device in Alzheimer

Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia in the elderly, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that gradually eliminates the patient's cognitive function and ultimately causes death. For Alzheimer's, there is no treatment, no surgery and nothing will be as before. These facts led us to build a smart system that helps Alzheimer's patients and their families stay in constant contact. This eliminates the worst and most frequent incident in the sphere of this condition: forgetting the road to the house and the chaotic wandering on the streets of the patient. The proposed system has the following tasks: reminds the patient of the tasks they have to perform daily: the medication schedule, the medicines to be administered and a time display; monitoring the patient and, in case of emergency, the system detects if the patient falls, thus, the alarm is activated and the coordinates are sent automatically to the family by SMS. It is portable and easy to use even for an older patient.
