Artificial Intelligence (AI) for people with memory loss

AI acts as intelligent support, using algorithms, data analytics, and various technologies to enhance the independence of those with memory loss and their caregivers. It spans early detection, self-care aid, and quality of life improvements, benefiting both home-based and institutional care.

On behalf of the whole international jury, we herewith present the winners of the World JAIN Challenge 2024!  

 
Winner Best Prototype:
GG care, David Grey, UK 

Winner Best Product:
Memory Lane, Rudolf Wolterbeek,  NL

GG care is a virtual elderly and dementia care guide powered by Amazon Alexa's Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology. It initiates interactive reminders to support users in daily activities, including medication, meals, and social interaction. The system guides users through voice-controlled interactions without stigmatizing medical devices, providing personal support and reducing agitation. The jury considered the prototype to elaborate well on an existing wide-spread tool, it is clear in its use, usable, helpful and it seems affordable for persons with dementia.

Memory Lane is a smart photo frame that offers personalized support for people with dementia, their families, and professional caregivers. It stimulates memories, promotes safety and independence, and reduces feelings of isolation. With features like video calls and lifestyle monitoring it promotes connectivity and quality of life. The jury liked that it is a whole package of services and that everything is shown with pictures. It seems easy to use for people who are not familiar with digital solutions. The team has expertise in developing software/apps for people living with dementia, it seems to be designed with ease of use in mind and the application demonstrates an understanding of dementia.
