Crafting

While talking to the elderly we found out that it is sometimes irritable for the elderly to wear the watch all-time on their wrist. So it might not be a good idea to go with.

The spectacles are the more favored product.

We are trying to make spectacles that can be used as regular glass and it will have a small camera installed on the front top part of it.

The camera will be equipped with cutting edge technology and artificial intelligence. The camera will capture the person whom the elderly people are talking to and record the required conversation or intercepts between them which can be converted into signals and stored device memory. 

This technology is similar to a meeting software that can auto-generate the transcripts/signals of the speaker/instance which can be accessed later. 

It will work in the following way. If the camera faces anything which it has recorded earlier, it will remind the person about the instance. A similar case will happen by finding lost things. When finding a particular thing, the specs will remind the elderly about the instance where the thing was last seen.

The specs will provide audio signals to remind the elderly people about instances. It will be lightweight and can be used daily. It will also be equipped with features like strings which can the elderly to keep the specs with them all the time.

A basic prototype of spectacle is shown below.

Conception Possible products:  1. Sensor on a wristwatch There will be a sensor on the normal analog watch, with an inbuilt mic which can record the conversations elderly have with different people and they can use it later to hear if they meet the person again after some time. As it is a normal wristwatch, it would not be much difficult for the elderly to use. 2. Spectacles There will be a camera on the top of spectacles which can record the conversations and can be used to later by the elderly to remember a conversation if they need. The camera will also capture images of products like medicines and other important things elderly people use and if they want to find it later than they can do so by tracking the last location of the product using the image.

"Over time, it really intensified," Janis Mara says. "I wanted to think I was just getting older, but my fear was that it was Alzheimer's." Janis Mara's comment over memory suggests that this situation is quite common in old people. Thes senior moments of memory loss are the result of a decline in brain activity that shows up in your 50s and affects most people older than age 65, according to Kirk Erickson, a psychology postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois who studies the relationship between memory and lifestyle. Erickson recommends these tactics to help keep neurons, nerve cells in the brain, humming, and reduce the chance of memory loss.  Aerobic training increases the supply of blood to the brain, spurs the development of new neurons, and forges more connections between them. All it takes to benefit is 45 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, three times a week. According to analyst reports and surveys, the effec...
