About the solution
Annie set out to invent this solution after the scrapbooks stopped working when her grandfather stopped being able to remember her name.
So, with the help of her middle school classmates, she built Remember Me, a mobile app that which uses facial recognition technology and a smartphone camera to help Alzheimer's patients recognise family, friends, and caregivers.
The app works by taking a picture and then giving the user detailed information such as the person’s name, relationship to the patient, and even locate previous photos of the two together.
The app allowed this team to earn the title of "Best in Region” in the 2015 Verizon Innovative App Challenge, which resulted in a $5,000 prize for their school's STEM program.
