About Alz Well د زوال (ډیمنشیا) پاملرنې سیسټم
الز ویل یو ډیجیټل پاملرنې سیسټم دی چې د ډیمنشیا پاملرنه کوونکو او ناروغانو لپاره ډیزاین شوی. دا سیسټم پکې یو د پاملرنه کوونکي اپلیکیشن شامل دی چې د شپې کارونې لپاره تیاره حالت (Dark Mode) لري، یو سمارټ بانډ چې ساده غږیز او یو-ټیپه کنټرولونه لري، او یو سمارټ سپیکر چې لوی سکرین لري. د موقعیت تعقیب (Location Tracking) پاملرنه کوونکو ته مرسته کوي ترڅو هغه ناروغان پیدا کړي چې ګرځي یا لار ورک کړي. مرکزي مهال ویش چې اتومات وړاندیزونه لري، د ورځني معمول ملاتړ کوي، او د روغتیا ډشبورډ د ناروغ او پاملرنه کوونکي حالت ښیي. بلد غږیز اختیارونه او د متن پورې اړوند انځورونه ناروغانو ته د خاطرو راپیادولو کې مرسته کوي. په یو سیسټم کې د ډیمنشیا پاملرنې ډیری اړتیاوې پوره شوي دي.

- Dementia, Alzheimer's, Monitoring, Mobile, Caregivers, SmartDevices, Voice, AI
- Production Technology
- 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. - Design Challenge
- 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.
- Research
- 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. - Inspiration
- 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 - Project Duration
- Initial research and design: 6 months (May 2022 - Jul 2022)
Development: Ongoing
Location: San Francisco, CA - Operation Flow
- 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.
