An API application that could help Alzeihmer's people



The Alzeihmer issue

Alzheimer's disease, also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gradually worsens over time. It is the cause of 60–70% of cases of dementia. The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events. It can make the life of diseased people harder especially regarding their loved ones.

My idea to solve this problem is to use a smartphone app that uses Google calendar and connected objects like Google Home that can speak without touching anything.

The Alzheimer patient's could use it thank to their family and friend.

Indeed, the person's relatives can enter events on the google calendar of the person (who is often old and therefore not very familiar with the internet and connected objects) and thanks to IFTTT we can ask to Google home for example to say when it is the time of the event or before.

The application needs to be easy to use because Alzeihmer patients are often old and eldery. It has to adapt to the sometimes bad view these people have. Therefore we use Google Home or something similar.

For example : On google calendar "Hello ... today, it is your son's birthday, Tony"
