GentleReminder

Mission

Create a mobile and web application designed to support individuals with dementia or memory impairment in safely living at home longer. The app should provide simple, easy-to-understand medication reminders for critical medications such as insulin, blood pressure medications, and other daily prescriptions. The system should also include scheduled wellness check-ins throughout the day using voice prompts, large buttons, or simple questions to confirm the user is safe, awake, and has not experienced a fall or medical emergency. If the user does not respond after multiple attempts, the app can alert caregivers, family members, or emergency contacts. The platform should focus on simplicity, accessibility, safety, and caregiver peace of mind. Features should include: * Medication scheduling and reminders * Missed medication alerts * Fall-risk and inactivity check-ins * Caregiver dashboard and notifications * Voice assistant compatibility * Large-font, dementia-friendly interface * AI-powered pattern recognition for changes in behavior or routine * Emergency escalation options The goal is to create a scalable, user-friendly healthcare technology platform that helps reduce preventable emergencies, improves medication adherence, decreases caregiver burden, and allows elderly patients to maintain independence safely at home. The app should be designed to potentially help thousands of families and healthcare systems by reducing hospitalizations, missed medications, and unnoticed falls.
