Abstract

Alzheimer’s is a catastrophic neuro-degenerative state in the elderly which reduces thinking skills and thereby hamper daily activity. Thus the management may be helpful for people with such condition. This work presents sensor based management system for Alzheimer’s patient. The main objective of this work is to report an early prototype of an eventual wearable system that can assist in managing the health of such patients and notify the caregivers in case of necessity. A brief case study is presented which showed that the proposed prototype can detect agitated and clam states of patients. As the ultimately developed assistive system will be packaged as a wearable device, the case study also investigated the usability of wearable devices on different age groups of Alzheimer’s patients. In addition, electro dermal activity for 4 patient of age group 55–60 and 60-7s years were also explored to assess the health condition of the patients.
