Project Summary
With the progression of cognitive impairment, seniors with cognitive disorders gradually lose their autonomy, may become disoriented in time and space, and become increasingly dependent on caregivers and health professionals. They are also socially isolated and under-stimulated, which has significant consequences for their overall health. The Idem smart clock is designed to orient these people in time and connect them with their family. Its basic function displays the time, date, day of the week and time of day. Additionally, the clock is connected to the internet network and allows caregivers to communicate remotely with the elderly person. Via a mobile application connected to the clock, the family members can thus send messages of affection and personalized reminders to their close elder.
