Overview
Memory Care is an app tailored for older individuals and those with memory issues like Alzheimer's or Dementia, offering five main features: Personal Account, Reminders, Contacts, Emergency Contact, and Mind Exercise/Nap Timers. Users log in to access their account, where they can store contacts and set reminders. The main screen allows setting reminders, calling emergency services (911), accessing contacts, and engaging in mind exercises. Family members/doctors can use the app to set reminders like “take your pills” for their older loved ones/patients. A dedicated contacts screen allows easy access to saved contacts. The Mind Exercise section includes timers for relaxation activities and naps, aiming to reduce stress and exercise the mind. The app aims to simplify daily tasks and improve the well-being of users facing memory-related challenges, addressing the global issue of Alzheimer's and dementia. Most of the older population/ Alzheimer's patients feel depressed thinking about their memory-related problems. This app has most of everyday necessities all in one place and makes it easy to access which could help the user feel better and less depressed. Inspired by interactions with older individuals facing such challenges–especially as a volunteer at a hospital transporting them to their rooms– I was able to get their perspective and think about it which made me create this app. The app aims to provide practical support and improve their quality of life.
