ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an incurable disease that causes dementia. Rehabilitation efforts of this disease focus on slowing down the rate of progression and improving the quality of life of the patients by enhancing their ability to engage with the environment and society surrounding the. In this study, the researchers present an integrated application (AlzMemo) that utilizes mobility and advanced communication features of smartphones to rehabilitate AD patients and assist their relatives and caregivers. AlzMemo integrates quality of life enhancing modules such as the memory wallet, event scheduler, and Bluetooth technology. Initial trials of the AlzMemo application with AD patients confirm that the benefits of previously proposed AD tools and exercises can also be achieved using a smartphone application. The simplicity of using the ADcope application can increase the rate of adoption of AD tools in dealing with AD patients.
