Hi everyone, I’m Henry, a UNSW engineering student from Australia. My late grandfather had dementia and often forgot to take his medication, which is what got me working on this problem. For those of you juggling work while helping a parent with their medication: we’re developing a smart dispenser that reminds them with…
Hi everyone, our family has noticed some extreme changes in our mother. Her mother passed from alzheimer’s/dementia. I’m not clear on the differences.

I’m an engineer and want to use technology to make people’s lives more comfortable and better in this space, but I know I need to understand the real problems first. If you’ve worked in…
Hello, My mom was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She’s only 63, so we are highly unprepared for this. To make matters worse, she has very little money saved and my family is not a position to help financially. She also lives in CA while I’m in WA state adding more hurdles to finding her adequate help. We’ve set up…
I was recently diagnosed with AD after having MCI for the past 5 years. My neurologist is recommending that I start a monoclonal antibody treatment regimen and has suggested Liqembi.
