About the solution
Emma Yang noticed that her grandma’s ability to recognize loved ones and her daily life were greatly impacted by Alzheimer's, and having grown up with her, she felt first-hand how the illness can affect not only the patient but the family, friends, and caregivers as well. This is what motivated Emma, at just 14 years old, to create Timeless.
Timeless is the first of its kind, simple, caregiver-assisted, easy-to-use mobile app for Alzheimer’s and dementia that helps the patients to remember events, and stay connected/engaged with friends and family, with an added aspect that allows it to recognize loved ones using artificial intelligence-based facial recognition technology. This app has 4 key features that are: Timeless has four key functions: Updates which provides patients a regular feed of photos that are contributed by their circle of friends, Today which provides reminders of the day’s activities to help patients effectively manage their daily lives, Contact that is a picture phone book which helps patients contact their loved ones without remembering their phone number, and finally Identify a feature that allows patients to use the phone’s camera to identify the person standing in front them using AI-based facial recognition technology.
Emma’s work on the app is still underway. She is currently raising funds on Indiegogo to finish its development so that she can start to pilot the app for patients and their families. Being a full-time high schooler in New York, Emma acknowledges that her time to work on the app has been limited, which is why additional funding will help her expand her resources and get it off the ground more quickly.
The goal of Timeless is to empower Alzheimer’s patients to live a better daily life.
