I've actually done a similar project (prototype stage only) back in school to tackle the same problem. Pretty similar in terms of functionalities but instead the proposed platform to house the app would be in the form of a watch. Things that would be extremely useful would be as follows: 1. Remote accessing / control over the functions of the app. I do understand that you mentioned something about syncing calendars but I don't think that is accessible enough for caretakers. Instead, have another app or web platform that allows you to remotely modify the events for the day, adjust the tasks etc. Why this is useful is that sometimes you have ad-hoc things that happen during the day and you want to quickly edit it.) 2. Location tracking. Self-explanatory, if patients are outside on their own, it will be important to know where they are. 3. Alert system. In the event that the patient is required to go to a particular location and a specified time and is not there, an alert can be sent to the caretaker. On top of that, this can be expanded in various interesting ways as follows: - If patient is not moving towards a location, a buzz alert can be sent to the patient's phone. - Geofencing can be applied such that if the patient is moving AWAY from supposed location or away from where he is supposed to go to, an alert can be sent to the caretaker or the patient himself. These are just some of the ideas I have that I can remember back then from my project. It would be awesome to see someone actually fulfill it as indeed dementia is a growing problem in the world.

Hi @swiftpolar ! That's very kind of you, sharing those great ideas! I had some of them in my mind already, and indeed this project has a lot of possibilities, and thus is very exciting. Regarding location, I believe the main constrain here is battery consumption, but hopefully this technology will be more efficient (at least looks like new iOS and Android versions are trying to tackle that). Cheers, and thanks once again for the feedback!

Anybody who has acted as a caregiver for an aging parent would appreciate such tools. A partnership with somebody like Pillpack for medication reminders would be interesting.

Hey @marketingjayne . Thank you for the nice suggestion! Definitely it would be great to create a partnership with a company/association on this field. :)

Hi PH, My name is Andre, and I want to share my side project with you. A while ago, my mother had a brain surgery, and since then she has short-medium term amnesia, leading to time and spatial disorientation. Because of this condition she has to constantly be reminded to drink water, seat for a while, and so on. This repetition is very important to create habits in the long term. Thus, I’ve decided to build AMOM, and buy a tablet to leave it in the room where she spends most of the time. And it is working for 10 months already. So I want to share with whom this may help. I'd love to get feedback from you!
