Abstract

Nowadays number of Alzheimer patients are getting lost. Alzheimer's is an urgent epidemic. "Alzheimer's disease is becoming an increasingly major medical problem worldwide. These patients lose their memory after a particular time depending upon how critical is the patient. To track them when they are lost or to get notified immediately when they are going to cross particular border we are proposing our system. Alzheimer disease patients need holistic attention by caregivers, due to the fact that they present with disorders of memory and orientation. However, communication with each patient is sometimes difficult. In this work we present a program to complement and support the daily activities of an Alzheimer’s centre. This is achieved by means of touching tags with mobile phones.
