Behavior Monitoring Apps
As individuals age or begin to suffer from disabilities, the challenges between those individuals and their families increase. Social communications through traditional methods decrease and cause frustration.
Mobile apps cannot only help determine stage of dementia, but also provide stimulation to improve cognitive functioning.
Behavior Monitoring Apps
VizWiz app lets users with fading or minimal eyesight take a picture of an object they can’t identify, then use voice control to ask what the object is.
Behavior Monitoring Apps
Find My Smart phone app lets users find lost mobile devices. If they are truly lost, the app lets users lock them remotely..
Also it can be used to locate the places of elderly people if they get lost
Behavior Monitoring Apps
