Studies have observed that in early-mid stages of Alzheimer’s and dementia, patients often don’t entirely forget faces and names, but can’t recall them on command, leading to frustration and social withdrawal. An inconspicuous face recognition assistant may alleviate the social predicament. NEMO is a discreet, open-source, and affordable face recognition device using off-the-shelf components that serves verbal reminders of loved ones’ names using facial recognition on a Raspberry Pi to increase the social confidence of people with early-mid stages of dementia. Loved ones’ pictures and names will be uploaded to the device with a tiny camera which, when activated by the user, will recognize the face and enunciate the name using a discreet in-ear headphone. The device has a companion app for increased usability for elderly patients and can track the number of times the patient pushes the reminding button over time for tracking memory decline.
