Being a maker, I thought about this and decided that I will build a wearable device, a system which can help both patients with Alzheimer and their caretakers. This system should be able to carry out at least the following tasks:
- Reminding the patient of carrying out tasks, he/she has to do daily (such as medications, exercise, etc)
- Monitor where the patient is in the house
- Alert the caretakers in case of an emergency of any sort
- Display the time (it’s a watch, after all!)
- It should be portable, and easy to use, even for an elder patient
- The cost should be kept to a minimum
I will be using the following parts for the bare-bones project to function:
-
Infineon’s Sensor Hub Nano

-
Nokia 5110 Display
