Routine-Assistive Care Device for Alzheimer’s Patients
Abstract
Our proposed design is an armband that will prompt users to maintain a routine and notify caregivers of emergencies. The device utilizes an Arduino Nano microcontroller, allowing the user to input their routine data over the internet. Haptic and audio feedback will signify different parts of the routine, played through the speaker and motor elements. Pressing a button will allow for rejection of promptings, while holding it will contact help. The device will also detect dangerous scenarios for the wearer using an accelerometer and a temperature sensor. This device aims to improve the health and well-being of ADRD patients.
