DemCure: A Technology-oriented solution for Assisting Caretakers and Dementia Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment

摘要

Technology-oriented solutions in every sector and service have transformed the lives of humans into more stable and safe environment. These solutions are further used to prevent, manage and diagnose various diseases. Our proposed system introduces technology-oriented solution for facilitating and assisting Dementia patients. Dementia results in anxiety and stress for patient in general and for family members in particular. Importantly, to help Dementia patients, this research work presents an android based smart phone application that will provide assistance in daily routine activities, medication dosage guidelines and pills reminders in order to assist patient in dosage taking. In addition, the system encompasses quiz games for reminiscing patient’s memory, monitoring and surveillance by caregivers in case of patient’s spatial disorientation from a particular place. The system also includes audio and video call feature to be used by patient whenever s/he is entrapped in any hazardous situation. This app, named as DemCure, will facilitate the independent life of patient as well as family members and will also bridge the communication gap between patient and caregiver.
