摘要:Over the past two decades due to enormous advancement in medical science and improved living
standards, human life expectancy has also increased, consequently, number of senior citizens (people with age 60 or
above) have also increased dramatically. People of this age suffers from variety of age related ailments, among those
ailments, cognitive impairments are of major concern. Cognitive impairments affect persons understanding and
memory capabilities. Amnestic MCI (Mild cognitive Impairment) mainly affects memory rather than understanding,
but this disease is neglected by most of the people which lead to more serious conditions such as dementia and
Alzheimer’s disease in 10 percent to 15 percent cases of amnestic MCI. People with these disease struggle to remember
their essential things and most importantly their medicines time. This can be disastrous since failing to take medicines
on time would increase the illness. People of this age greatly depend on their care giver and relatives. In this scenario
we proposed a system which allows senior citizen with amnestic MCI to locate their essential things and maintains on
time routine of medicine. This system will also provide assistance in case of visually impaired people for medicine
recognition, thereby reducing their dependency on other people and leveraging their quality of life.
