Using an application and screen, and peripherals such as a pressure sensor, the patient's memory is stimulated, taking medication is managed or automatic lights are activated.
Improve the cognitive abilities of people with Alzheimer's, increase their quality of life or scheduling by reminders taking medication is the main objective of Alzheimer's Domotic System, a new technological advance made by a customizable application and a display device that allows submit to patient immersive environment through the use of images and their own environment related sounds.
This home automation system, developed by Javier Armiñana, student Degree in Computer Science from Catholic University of Murcia also lets you add new peripherals to the solution, which favors increased functionality.
As an example, the prototype has developed a pressure sensor as a carpet, to detect when the person gets up, send by bluetooth an automatic signal to a receiver in charge of turning an auxiliary light.
"This reduces falls, disorientation and ambulation of people affected," explains Armiñana.
The solution, easy handling and low cost also acts as an alarm clock or calendar previously set by doctors or relatives to remind the patient, for example, next take their medication.
Thus, "the relationship of dependency between patients, families and caregivers is optimized," adds Armiñana.
For the implementation of the project, incubated in the business incubator of ITM (Instituto Tecnologico de Murcia UCAM), under the Talentum Startups program, this young entrepreneur has received technical training and mentoring in business hand skills of professionals from different areas.
In addition to the research process has been supported and supervision of specialized personnel in the area of ​​health.
