Object Tracking Aid for Senior Citizens

Abstract

As thea worlda of Health based technologies continues to evolve, the concept of using gadgets as aid devices becomes more established. Through data collected from various researches done on remote object tracking, we intend to create a gadget capable of effective live time object tracking and locating. Our target demographic is being senior citizens, especially those with Dementia, Alzheimer’s or other such mental diseases. Due to their tendency to misplace items and then repeatedly worry over them, they are subject to an enormous amount of mental distress. We also see that there are very few health aids developed with the aim of helping those with dementia or it’s more severe form Alzheimer’s. There is a surprisingly large population of nearly 40% all senior citizens that will soon be faced by this disease. Our aim with this project is to keep the project as simple as possible, to enable more and more people with dementia to use this product. With most products so far containing the serious flaw of being smart phone based In order to make the programming easier, we aim to differentiate out product by creating an independent and self-automated device that requires minimal effort on part of the user enabling a virtually automated experience.
