1Plan and design the device
Review statistics and research related to Alzheimer's care and previous devices used by Alzheimer's patients. Plan the initial design of the device, including the features it will have and the materials and components needed.
-
2Select the device parts
Based on the design plan, select the necessary components such as microcontroller, battery, sensors, and wireless modules.
-
3Calculate the cost of components
Estimate the cost of the components to ensure the project stays within budget.
-
4Build the prototype
Begin building the prototype by assembling the selected components according to the design plan.
- Connect the microcontroller to the sensors and wireless modules.
- Add a battery to power the device.
- Add an LED display or other output device to display the location or other data.
-
5Test the prototype
Once the prototype is assembled, test it to ensure it's working correctly.
- Check that the device can locate the Alzheimer's patient if they go out unaccompanied.
- Ensure the chatbot feature sends reminders for medication and other important information.
- Test the water-resistant feature.
-
6Analyze and optimize the results
Based on the test results, analyze the data and optimize the prototype to improve performance.
- Replace the battery with solar panels to make the device more sustainable.
- Add a SIM module to send messages to a companion in emergency situations.
- Optimize the range of the device using a NODE MCU Esp.32 to increase the range of the device.
-
7Finalize the design: Once the prototype is optimized and tested, finalize the design of the device and prepare it for production.
-
8Produce the final product: Produce the final product by assembling the design with the optimized components and testing it to ensure it meets the required specifications.
-
9Implement the device: Finally, implement the device by distributing it to Alzheimer's patients and their families to help improve their health, well-being, and quality of life.
