Abstract

Alzheimer's patients require special care and constant monitoring. This paper utilizes smart glasses equipped with Augmented Reality (AR) screen to perform the basic functions of a caregiver and provide the patients with features that increase the independence and reduce caregiving costs. It targets patients during the early and middle stages of the disease who still possess control over their mental and physical behaviours. The core features are detecting the location of misplaced objects and guiding the patient to their last seen location, identifying and displaying the names of friends and relatives on the AR display, monitoring if the patient has lost the way and accordingly displaying the way home on the AR display while simultaneously sending the patient's location to the caregiver as an SMS, detecting if the patient removed the glasses, predicting the cause of removal, then notifying the caregiver with the predicted cause and the patient's location.
