ALZOT: AN IOT BASED HEALTH CARE ASSISTANT FOR ALZHEIMER'S PATIENT

The necessity for healthcare assistants is growing at present situations in particular for the elderly people who are suffering from long-term chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Paralysis and so on. In the early 90's, a number of studies began to highlight the problem of the increasing number of people with Alzheimer's disease. It is a neuro - degenerative disease that occur when the brain no longer functions normally, where in the early stage the symptoms may be minimal, but as the disease causes more damage to the brain, symptoms worsen. The most common symptom in the early stage is the shortterm memory loss (difficulty in remembering events). IoT devices with intelligent applications can be used for monitoring the health condition of such patients.
