AI Based Caregiver for Dementia Patients

Dementia is a common problem in about 50 millions people around the world. It is increasing day by day with nearly ten million new cases now. India has the second-highest number of affecting population by dementia, at an overall it is estimated that 4.1 million. During the early stages of dementia, the patients will lose memory in doing their daily activities. Dementia commonly starts above the age of 65, but nowadays it’s common in ’40s. The loss of memory, language and communication skill, concentration and analytical ability are some of the main symptoms of the same. Permanent dementia cannot be cured. It can only be controlled by medicine and caregiving. Progress of severity of dementia depends on the caregiving provided but hiring caregivers is expensive. The count of dementia patients in the world is predicted to rise to a level of 131 million by 2050. The AI-Based Care Giver for dementia patients is an Augmented Reality smart glass that acts as an alternate caregiving system that replaces humans. This system establishes the daily routine of the demented patient by learning his/her test routine and predicting the most appropriate output by machine learning. The proposed system is trained to extract a dataset of daily routine as training data by using the neural network for the first 3 months. After training, the virtual caregiver guides the patient throughout the day with his exact daily routine just like a human caregiver. One of our main goals is to ensure the safety of the patient without human supervision. The emergency alert system feature alerts the closest relatives of the patient through a mobile application in case of unusual events.
