Cē Zan Ītēchcopa: AlzWell includes a caregiver app with dark mode for night use, a smart band for patients with simple voice and one-tap interactions, and a smart speaker with a large screen for voice commands and viewing memories. Key features: AI location tracking for wandering patients, central scheduling with AI suggestions, custom voice options for familiarity, and a wellness dashboard for caregivers. Patients gain confidence with contextual visuals, and the system simplifies caregiver-patient management.
Huēyiliztli īhuān Tlacualtepēhualli: App: Responsive iOS devices (iPhone SE - iPhone 16Pro Max)
Wearable: 36mm diagonal rectangular display
Speaker: 10.2in diagonal display (1.8in depth)
Tōcāitl: Dementia, Alzheimer's, Monitoring, Mobile, Caregivers, SmartDevices, Voice, AI
Tlachīhualiztli Māchiyōtl: For the app: The product was designed in Figma. The animations are done in Rive/SwiftUI. The v1 prototype is built specifically for iOS using Swift UI and UIKit with some parts done in React. The voice interactions and routing are done via a Large Language Model (LLM).
Wearable & Speaker: V2 additions to the ecosystem are designed in Figma and will be built on open-source libraries.
Tlanāhuatīlli Nētēcahuilīztli: The most difficult part of this challenge was to create something that had zero learning curve for the dementia patient (achieved via voice and one-click UI) and build a comprehensive monitoring system for the caregiver while integrating their current daily routine into the caregiving workflow.
Tlatēmōliztli: The research was divided into 2 parts:

1. User research: I talked to 3 dementia patients' family members and caregivers to understand how their lives and daily schedules are affected while caregiving.

2. Desk Research: Extensive secondary research was done from online sources like the CDC website, caregiving.org, Alz.org, etc.
Tēyōllālīliztli: Dementia caregivers are the worst-hit caregivers in the healthcare industry:
- 17 billion hours of unpaid care (mostly family)
- 60% have extreme stress levels
- 1/6 quit their jobs

Dementia is also the most expensive disease in the USA: 2.8 Trillion USD estimated societal cost by 2030.

Alz Well aims to reduce stress for caregivers by helping them:
- effectively managing the symptoms & well-being of the patient
- having a smart care framework at their fingertips
- manage their day-to-day schedules along with the caregiving responsibility using AI
- get help in emergencies
Tēquitl Cāhuitl: Initial research and design: 6 months (May 2022 - Jul 2022)
Development: Ongoing
Location: San Francisco, CA
Tēquitl Ōhuitl: Alz Well is the first system designed for both dementia caregivers and patients, improving both lives. It uses AI for wandering tracking and time management, a breakthrough in dementia care. Unlike other solutions that address one issue at a time, Alz Well manages multiple dementia challenges in one system (wandering, reminiscence, home tasks, monitoring). The tech is invisible to the patient, requiring no learning curve, making it effortless to use for both patients and caregivers.
