Ask HN: Is anyone working on tech for dementia/Alzheimer's?

34 pointsby zbravoalmost 7 years ago
Plenty of news on research into pharma treatments but what about technology to outsource memory, manage life or make caretakers more efficient?

Hey, we work on LiNote. A device for people with memory impairments. It help caretaker to be &quot;always&quot; close to their loved one. Our website is only in french but you might still get the big picture <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linote.fr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linote.fr</a>

I recently learned about the Amba by Senecto, a tablet with specialized software for taking care of the daily tasks and communication of people with memory loss or dementia.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.senecto.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.senecto.com</a>

When AR takes off, I&#x27;d like to create a wearable that &#x27;reminds&#x2F;nudges&#x27; you about who people are, even people you should know no matter what, like your own son or daughter.<p>I&#x27;d like to see if gentle reminders, when memories are fading, or unreachable could possibly help with some coherency, of course I&#x27;d need to work with medical experts to test out, ways to make AR work to improve cognition, but I think there&#x27;s a real opportunity there.

I recently worked on an app with some learning resources about dementia. [iOS](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;dementia-overview&#x2F;id1372209083?mt=8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;dementia-overview&#x2F;id13722090...</a>) and [android](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=org.nativescript.HCA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=org.nativescri...</a>)

This startup uses VR for the elderly. They used to focus on Dementia but it&#x27;s been a while and I think they&#x27;ve expanded focus now: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onecaringteam.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onecaringteam.com</a>
