| Sarah Gordon Alzheimer/Dementia Assistant Technology
Challenge: | Innovation | Category: | Senior | Region: | South Fraser | City: | Surrey, BC | School: | Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary | Abstract: | My project is a theoretical design of a home system for patients with early signs of Alzheimer's/Dementia. The design combines existing technologies in an original way that could enable patients to live independently in their own homes for longer, as opposed to being put in fully assisted residences so early on. The technology is also designed to help delay the progression of the disease. |
