Abstract This Fast Track SBIR project will develop an informatics system to assist people with memory impairment. Early stages of Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's related dementia often causes memory concerns. Persons with Memory Concern often cannot match names with faces or cannot recognize faces with a sure feeling of familiarity. Persons with Memory Concern may have difficulty remembering the names of family members and friends or may address them with a wrong name. They recognize the faces they see daily, such as a spouse or caregiver, but they may confuse visiting friends and grandchildren. The inability to remember names or relationships contributes to isolation and deeply affects their social lives. The proposed solution is a Smartwatch Reminder system to conspicuously provide this information to the Persons with Memory Concern when needed. This system will automatically transmit pictures and relevant information to a smartwatch worn by the Persons with Memory Concern when family or friends visit. The system will be evaluated on the target persons with memory concern population to measure engagement and improvements in social interactions and quality of life. The research team is highly experienced with the Persons with Memory Concern population and includes software engineers, a human factors expert, and experimental study experts.

摘要 这个快速通道SBIR项目将开发一个信息学系统来帮助记忆受损的人。 阿尔茨海默氏症和阿尔茨海默氏症相关痴呆症的早期阶段通常会引起记忆问题。有以下情况的人 记忆问题通常无法将名字与人脸匹配，或者无法识别具有确定感觉的人脸 熟悉感。有记忆问题的人可能难以记住家庭成员的名字和 朋友，或者可能用错误的名字称呼他们。他们认识他们每天看到的面孔，比如配偶或 照顾者，但他们可能会混淆来访的朋友和孙子孙女。不能记住名字或 人际关系会导致孤立，并深刻影响他们的社交生活。建议的解决方案是 智能手表提醒系统，将此信息显眼地提供给有记忆问题的人 在需要的时候。该系统会自动将图片和相关信息传输到佩戴的智能手表上 当家人或朋友来访时，由有记忆关注的人提供。系统将在目标上进行评估 有记忆力的人关注人群以衡量社交互动的参与度和改善程度，以及 生活质量。研究团队对记忆关注人群和 包括软件工程师、人为因素专家和实验研究专家。
