Overview

In an era where aging populations face increasing cognitive health challenges, MemoTag emerges as a comprehensive platform that combines IoT wearable technology with AI-powered health monitoring. It's our solution to creating a supportive ecosystem where families and caregivers can provide optimal care for individuals with dementia and cognitive decline through intelligent, real-time monitoring and personalized insights.

The concept was clear — if families are struggling to provide round-the-clock care for loved ones with cognitive challenges, why not create an intelligent wearable solution that offers continuous monitoring, safety alerts, and actionable health insights?

Key Features

AI-Powered Cognitive Analysis: Advanced algorithms track memory, speech, and behavior patterns to identify early signs of cognitive decline. The platform provides tailored exercises and insights based on this analysis, helping caregivers proactively manage patient conditions.
Real-Time Safety Monitoring: Integrated fall detection using 3-axis accelerometers with immediate caregiver alerts. GPS tracking with geofencing capabilities ensures patient safety while maintaining their independence and dignity.
Comprehensive Health Tracking: Continuous monitoring of vital signs, sleep patterns, and daily activities. The system identifies health trends and potential issues before they become serious, enabling preventive care approaches.
Smart Reminder System: Personalized medication and appointment reminders ensure patients maintain their care routines. The system adapts to individual schedules and preferences for optimal adherence.
Caregiver Dashboard: Intuitive web interface providing real-time health summaries, progress reports, and care recommendations. Caregivers receive actionable insights and alerts to make informed decisions about patient care.
Privacy-First Design: All health data is encrypted and stored on secure servers compliant with GDPR and HIPAA standards, ensuring patient privacy while enabling authorized access for caregivers and family members.

Technologies Used

Next.js 15 & React 19: Leveraging the latest features including server components, streaming, and improved performance optimizations for lightning-fast content delivery and real-time data visualization.
IoT Wearable Integration: Advanced sensor fusion combining accelerometers, GPS modules, and biometric sensors for comprehensive health and safety monitoring with real-time data transmission.

Challenges and Learnings

The primary challenge was creating accurate cognitive assessment algorithms while maintaining user privacy and data security. The solution involved developing edge computing capabilities that process sensitive data locally on the device before transmitting anonymized insights.

Another significant hurdle was designing an interface that serves multiple user types - patients with cognitive challenges, family caregivers, and professional healthcare providers. The solution involved creating adaptive UI patterns that adjust complexity based on user roles and capabilities.

Battery optimization for continuous monitoring was crucial when dealing with 24/7 wearable usage. Implementing intelligent sensor management, adaptive sampling rates, and efficient data compression ensures multi-day battery life without compromising monitoring quality.

Technical Innovations

Edge AI Processing: Local cognitive pattern analysis reduces latency and enhances privacy by processing sensitive health data directly on the wearable device before cloud transmission.
Adaptive Monitoring System: Intelligent sensor management that adjusts monitoring intensity based on patient activity levels, time of day, and historical patterns to optimize battery life and data accuracy.
Multi-Modal Alert System: Comprehensive notification system using push notifications, SMS, email, and phone calls to ensure critical alerts reach caregivers through their preferred communication channels.
Responsive Health Dashboard: Adaptive data visualization that scales from mobile caregiver apps to desktop healthcare provider interfaces while maintaining data integrity and accessibility standards.
Secure Health Data Pipeline: End-to-end encrypted data transmission with role-based access controls ensuring HIPAA compliance while enabling seamless data sharing among authorized care team members.
