Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a monitoring and supporting system for patient with Alzheimer’s disease that continuously tracks vital physiological and cognitive patterns to provide real-time therapeutic support for enhancing comfort and well-being, managing symptoms effectively and minimizing the risk of injury through automated intervention.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Alzheimer’s disease, being a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, presents several shortcomings in current management methods. Existing approaches rely heavily on medication, counseling, and basic monitoring, which fail to detect sudden neurological changes, irregular circulation patterns or potential fall risks in real time. Conventional methods lack the capability to provide timely therapeutic responses, leaving patients vulnerable to heightened anxiety, poor circulation and unsafe wandering. The burden on caregivers also increases significantly as continuous supervision is required but cannot always be guaranteed, leading to stress and inefficiency in care. Moreover, the absence of integrated solutions results in fragmented management, where patient safety, emotional well-being, and accurate health data collection are not simultaneously addressed.

[0003] Traditionally managing Alzheimer’s disease with traditional tools such as EEG machines, manual blood pressure monitors, handheld massagers, aroma diffusers, GPS trackers and protective belts presents significant difficulties for both patients and caregivers. These conventional devices work in isolation, requiring separate handling, multiple setups and constant human intervention, which is impractical for patients with cognitive decline and physically exhausting for caregivers. EEG machines are bulky and unsuitable for continuous monitoring in daily life, while manual massagers and aroma diffusers lack synchronization with patient conditions, providing only generalized relief without timely personalization. GPS trackers and protective belts act as reactive measures rather than proactive ones, failing to prevent injury or unsafe wandering in real time. This fragmentation in functionality means caregivers must juggle several devices at once, reducing efficiency and increasing stress. As a result, current tools fall short of delivering comprehensive care needed for supporting Alzheimer’s patients effectively.

[0004] CN117958749A discloses an invention relates to the field of medical treatment, in particular to intelligent portable Alzheimer's disease detection wearable equipment based on machine learning, comprising a bracelet body, an intelligent chip fixedly mounted in the bracelet body, a Bluetooth connector fixedly mounted in the bracelet body, and a network signal connector fixedly mounted in the bracelet body. A heart rate and breath detector is fixedly installed in the bracelet body, and a Beidou locator is fixedly installed in the bracelet body. Aiming at a special group of Alzheimer's disease patients, through long-term real-time tracking of daily behaviors and physical sign condition data, prevention and early-stage monitoring can be realized, convenience is provided for the patients and family members thereof, and meanwhile, the safety of the early-stage Alzheimer's disease patients is protected; the detection method is safe and easy to implement, high-cost diagnosis and treatment information provided by a fixed medical institution is supplemented, and continuous detection can be carried out; and the predicted product price is within a user bearing range, so that audiences are more extensive.

[0005] WO2025093117A1 discloses a wearable sensor system in the form of a smart clothing garment for use in the non-invasive and accurate assessment of progression of disease in patients suffering from dementia and more particularly from Alzheimer΄s disease.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed to manage Alzheimer’s disease, support relaxation, track movement and assist in patient safety but these devices lack real-time integration, personalized therapeutic responses, automated protective measures and continuous coordination between cognitive, physical and emotional health management, resulting in fragmented care. These existing devices require manual intervention, fail to adapt to patient’s specific stages of decline and do not provide comprehensive alerts or data-driven support for caregivers and healthcare professionals.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of monitoring brain activity and body conditions, delivering personalized calming therapies, ensuring timely protection against falls or unsafe movements, maintaining emotional stability, regulating circulation and temperature and providing real-time alerts with accurate health data for enhancing patient comfort, safety and caregiver efficiency in Alzheimer’s disease management.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of providing automated relaxation therapy through personalized stimulation and soothing treatments for reducing anxiety, enhancing emotional stability and promoting healthy blood circulation to maintain comfort and mental balance in patients.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of real-time detection of imbalances and fall risks, initiating protective measures for shock absorption and injury prevention for enhancing mobility safety while preserving the patient’s independence and reducing vulnerability.

[0011] Yet another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of continuous location tracking and enforcement of safe movement boundaries, while simultaneously alerting caregivers to any unsafe wandering for enhancing patient security, reducing caregiver stress and ensuring effective supervision in both indoor and outdoor environments.

[0019] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a monitoring and supporting system for patient with Alzheimer’s disease that automatically identifies abnormal brain activity, delivers targeted therapeutic stimulation, safeguards against imbalance or unsafe wandering and alerts caregivers in real time for providing integrated clinical support and enhanced safety for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a monitoring and supporting system for patient with Alzheimer’s disease is illustrated, comprising a head wearable unit 101 configured with a plurality of EEG sensors 102, a pair of strap 103 equipped with a motorized roller 104 and has free ends fitted with electromagnet 105, a body 106 configured with a multi-sectioned chamber 107 having electronic valve 108 mounted on the unit 101, a sliding gate 109 configured with base portion for the body 106, a telescopic rod 110 with a massaging roller 111 attached to a dual-axis lead screw arrangement 112 installed within the body 106, a plurality of cushioned patches 113 installed with the wearable unit 101, a holographic projection unit 114 installed on the unit 101, an imaging unit 115 coupled with a speaker 116 mounted on the head wearable unit 101, a waist belt 117 with cushioned member 118, a set of L-shaped telescopic rods 119 quipped with a suction cups 120 integrated with waist belt 117.

[0023] The system disclosed herein comprises of a head wearable unit 101 for patients with Alzheimer’s disease that accommodate comfortably on the patient’s head, functioning as both a monitoring and support system to track vital signs such as blood flow rate and brain activity. The head wearable unit 101 is constructed using multi-layered, impact-absorbing materials includes but not limited to viscoelastic foam, gel padding and specialized polymers distributed across skull regions. The wearable unit 101 provides a close fit while remaining adaptable to natural head movements. The overall form resembles a soft exoskeleton that is lightweight and low-profile, optimized to minimize the risk of injury from falls or collisions, while simultaneously ensuring user comfort and discretion for daily wear. In essence, the unit 101 functions as both a protective system and a companion, designed to enhance the overall well-being of patients.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, a user is required to activate the system manually by pressing a button installed on the wearable unit 101 and linked with an inbuilt microcontroller associated with the system. The button is a type of switch that is internally connected with the system via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conduction of electricity that tends to activate the system and vice versa.

[0025] A pair of adjustable straps 103 are provided with the head wearable unit 101, extending around the patient’s face, each strap 103 terminating in an electromagnet 105 developed to ensure secure fastening. When the patient wears the wearable unit 101, the straps 103 are positioned to ensure a comfortable yet stable fit. Post activation of the system, the microcontroller activates the electromagnet 105, causing them to attract and lock together firmly. Each strap’s end houses a compact coil of copper wire wound around a ferromagnetic core, powered by a low-voltage DC supply. When the microcontroller sends a current through the coil, the core becomes magnetized, generating a strong magnetic field that attracts and locks securely with the opposing electromagnet 105 on the other strap 103 to confirm successful alignment and locking.

[0026] A motorized roller 104 is integrated with each strap 103 of the head wearable unit 101 to automatically fasten and adjust the straps 103 once they are electromagnetically locked. As the microcontroller confirms successful locking of the strap ends, the microcontroller sends a control signal to the motorized roller 104 to rotate for tightening the straps 103, ensuring a secure fit around the user’s face. The motorized roller 104 consists of a miniature DC motor, gear assembly, roller drum and strap tension sensors. When locking is confirmed, the microcontroller delivers a regulated voltage to the DC motor, which drives the gear assembly to rotate the roller drum. As the drum spins, winds the strap 103 inward, gradually tightening around the patient’s head, enhancing stability and maintaining consistent contact with the skin.

[0027] A pressure sensor is embedded in each strap 103 of the wearable unit 101 to continuously monitor the pressure applied during fastening, ensuring both safety and comfort for the patient. The pressure sensor consists of a thin-film force-sensitive resistor (FSR) or piezoelectric material and an analog signal conditioning circuit. As the motorized roller 104 pulls the strap 103 tighter, the sensor undergoes deformation, causing electrical resistance or output voltage to change proportionally with the applied pressure. This analog signal is then conditioned through an operational amplifier circuit for stability and converted into a digital value and transmits to the microcontroller for continuously monitoring of these readings and compares them to a pre-programmed threshold reading, stored in a database.

[0028] Once the measured pressure reaches the optimal range, the pressure sensor signals the microcontroller to immediately regulate or stop the motorized roller 104, preventing any risk of over-tightening that may cause discomfort or restrict blood circulation. If needed, the sensors also trigger micro-adjustments by pausing or slightly loosening the tension to maintain ideal pressure over extended wear. This feedback ensures straps 103 remain snug enough to stabilize sensors and hold the unit 101 securely, while safeguarding the well-being of Alzheimer’s patients.

[0029] A plurality of EEG (electroencephalogram) sensors 102 is placed along the inner surface of the head wearable unit 101, to continuously monitor the brain’s electrical activity by detecting voltage fluctuations generated by neurons through the scalp. The EEG (electroencephalogram) sensors 102 detects and records the brain’s electrical activity across various frequency bands, including alpha, beta, theta, and delta waves, each associated with different neurological states. The EEG sensors 102 works by using electrodes, commonly dry or semi-dry, placed in contact with the scalp to detect electrical potentials generated by neuronal activity. These analog signals are extremely low in amplitude (microvolt range), so they are first passed through a low-noise preamplifier to boost the signal without distortion.

[0030] The amplified signals are then filtered by a band-pass filter to isolate relevant brainwave frequencies, removing noise and artifacts such as muscle movement or environmental interference. The cleaned signals are then digitized using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and then transmits to the microcontroller to process the signal and correlates the brainwave patterns with predefined neurological and cognitive activity levels stored in the database. This analysis helps detect abnormalities such as unusual rhythm disruptions, atypical frequency dominance or irregular brainwave activity patterns, serving as indicators for identifying cognitive decline, improper brain activity and supporting assessment of the stage and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

[0031] A blood flow sensor is integrated with the wearable unit 101 to monitor cerebral blood circulation in continuous manner for ensuring critical insight into the patient’s neurological health. The blood flow sensor uses a photoplethysmography (PPG) setup, consisting of a light source, usually an LED emitting near-infrared light, which penetrates scalp tissue and interacts with underlying blood vessels. As blood volume within the vessels changes with each pulse, the amount of light either absorbed or reflected fluctuates. A photodetector placed adjacent to the LED captures these variations in intensity, converting them into small electrical signals proportional to blood flow dynamics.

[0032] These signals are amplified and filtered by the analog front end to remove noise from motion or ambient light. The signals are transmitted to the microcontroller, which processes them in real time to analyze parameters such as blood perfusion, flow irregularities or reduced circulation factors associated with cognitive decline or progression of Alzheimer’s disease. By establishing patterns and trends, the sensor provides early detection of anomalies like poor perfusion or irregular vascular responses, which indicate advancing stages of the disease.

[0033] A massaging and aroma therapy module is integrated with the head- wearable unit 101 to provide comfort and therapeutic benefits to Alzheimer’s patients whenever irregular blood circulation or abnormal neural activity is detected. The massaging and aroma therapy module features a body 106 configured with multi-sectioned chamber 107 that stores massaging oils infused with different therapeutic aromas, each contained in isolated sections and regulated by electronic valve 108. These oils, known for their calming and cognitive-supportive properties and are selected based on pre-stored patient preference data in the database for ensuring a personalized experience for each individual.

[0034] When the microcontroller determines that therapy is required, a sliding gate 109 at the base of the chamber 107 opens at the command of the microcontroller, for allowing dispensing of the required oil directly onto the patient’s scalp in controlled amounts. The sliding gate 109 consists of a compact DC motor, rack-and-pinion arrangement, guide rails and gate 109 to regulate the dispensing of aroma oils. When triggered by the microcontroller, the DC motor rotates the pinion gear, which directly engages with the linear rack mounted along the gate 109. This rotary-to-linear conversion seamlessly drives the gate 109 to slide horizontally along the guide rails at the base of the chamber 107.

[0035] This movement provides access to the electronic valve 108 of the desired oil section, allowing the oil to be dispensed in a controlled manner. After opening the gate 109, the microcontroller actuates the electronic valve 108 to dispense the specified oil on the user’s scalp. The electronic valve 108 is integrated with a pump which consists of a motor, pump chamber, inlet and outlet valves and connecting tubing. The motor drives a diaphragm to creates suction in the pump chamber, drawing oil to pressurized and pushed through the outlet valve toward the electronic valve 108 significantly increasing pressure for effective application., then an electric current passes through a solenoidal coil which winds around plunger, generates a magnetic field that pulls the plunger upward. This motion opens internal valve, allowing oil to pass through electronic valve 108 to release a controlled amount of oil directly onto the user’s scalp in controlled amount for therapeutic head massaging.

[0036] The massaging and aroma therapy module also includes a massaging roller 111 that is suspended from the ceiling of the body 106 through a telescopic rod 110, which is connected to a dual-axis lead screw arrangement 112 to precisely move the telescopic rod 110 along both the X and Y-axis, enabling bi-directional sweeping of the roller 111 across the patient’s scalp with consistent pressure. This ensures maximum surface coverage while providing a gentle or firm massage aimed at stimulating circulation, soothing anxiety and enhancing relaxation. Upon dispensing the oil, the microcontroller actuates the microcontroller actuates the telescopic rod 110 to position the roller 111 directly over the scalp. The telescopic rod 110 consists of nested tubular sections connected to a pneumatic unit that includes an air compressor, a cylinder with a piston and solenoid valve.

[0037] The air compressor generates compressed air, which passes through a solenoid valve and enters into the air cylinder. The air pressure inside the cylinder causes the piston to push the rod 110 outward, causing nested tubular sections to extends downward to make direct contact with the scalp. Upon contacting the scalp, the microcontroller actuates the massaging roller 111 to provide gentle or firm massage targeted at stimulating circulation, soothing anxiety and enhancing relaxation. The massaging roller 111 consists of a compact DC motor, drive shaft, roller drum and bearing mounts to deliver controlled rotary motion for scalp massage. When the microcontroller activates the motor, rotational power is transmitted through the drive shaft directly to the roller drum, which is fabricated with a soft, textured surface to ensure smooth contact with the scalp.

[0038] The roller 111 is mounted on precision bearings that minimize friction and enable consistent rotation under varying loads. The operational speed of the roller 111 adapts dynamically to the patient’s physiological state, as determined by the processed brain wave patterns and the identified stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates the dual-axis lead screw arrangement 112 to enable precise movement of the roller 111 across various points on the user’s scalp with controlled motion. The dual-axis lead screw arrangement 112 consists of two orthogonally mounted lead screws, stepper motors, linear guide rails and a movable carriage connected to the telescopic rod 110 with the massaging roller 111. Each stepper motor drives corresponding lead screw, converting rotary motion into precise linear displacement. One lead screw provides horizontal (X-axis) motion while the other provides perpendicular (Y-axis) motion, enabling bi-directional travel of the carriage across the scalp area. The carriage, mounted on the linear guide rails, ensures smooth, low-friction movement while maintaining structural stability under load. As the motors operate in a coordinated manner, the telescopic rod 110 with the roller 111 is driven across both axes, covering a wide scalp surface for massaging.

[0039] This enables variation in massage intensity from gentle stimulation to firmer pressure, according to therapeutic requirements for improving local blood circulation and facilitating even distribution of the applied oils. This synchronized motion ensures balanced stimulation across different scalp regions, while the release of specific aromatic compounds helps improve mood regulation, reduce agitation and potentially support memory functions.

[0040] A plurality of cushioned patches 113 is installed within the wearable unit 101 and distributed along the inner lining to provide both comfort and continuous thermal monitoring of the patient’s scalp. Each cushioned patch is embedded with a temperature sensor that measures the localized scalp temperature in real time, capturing even subtle variations influenced by blood circulation, stress or environmental changes. The temperature sensor works by capturing the infrared radiation emitted by user head surface. The sensor consists of a thermopile with a built-in lens or filter, that collects and focuses IR radiation onto a sensing element. The thermopile absorbs this radiation, generating a voltage through the Seebeck effect, proportional to the ambient temperature. The analog voltage signal from the thermopile is amplified and digitized by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and then transmits to the microcontroller to evaluate the temperature by comparing against pre-programmed thresholds values stored in the database to determine whether thermal regulation is required.

[0041] A Peltier module is integrated with the cushioned patches 113 to actively regulate scalp temperature and enhance user comfort. When overheating or elevated scalp temperature is detected, the microcontroller actuates the Peltier module to maintain optimal scalp temperature and enhance user comfort. The Peltier module works on the thermoelectric effect, using two different types of semiconductor materials arranged in pairs between two ceramic plates. When a DC electric current is applied, electrons and holes move through the semiconductors, transferring heat from one side of the module to the other. This creates a temperature difference: one side becomes cold (absorbs heat) and the opposite side becomes hot (dissipates heat).

[0042] A heat sink is attached to the hot side to manage excess heat, ensuring stable operation. This thermal energy is transferred to the adjacent cushioned patches 113, allowing the Peltier module to precisely regulate the surface temperature. In cooling mode, the Peltier draws heat away from the cushioned patches 113 and dissipates externally, while in heating mode, adds warmth to the cushioned patches 113, which then gently raises the temperature of the skin-contact area. This ensures rapid, localized thermal adjustment, evenly distributed via the cushioned patches 113 for user comfort to reduce thermal discomfort.

[0043] A waist belt 117 is associated with the system and equipped with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor to continuously monitors the patient’s posture and motion dynamics to detect imbalance or the onset of a fall, an especially critical risk factor in Alzheimer’s patients. The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor consists of accelerometer measure linear acceleration along one or more axes, detecting shifts in position or movement caused by gravity or external forces, gyroscope measure angular velocity for how quickly the user is rotating around, essential for detecting tilt or rotational movement and magnetometer measure the strength and direction of the Earth’s magnetic field, helping to correct orientation drift These sensors work together to measure acceleration, angular velocity and orientation in real time to provide comprehensive information about the user and detect abnormal motion.

[0044] The accelerometer disclosed above measures linear acceleration using a microelectromechanical arrangement consisting of a suspended proof mass attached to springs within a silicon chip. When the belt 117 experiences motion due to user movement, the proof mass shifts slightly from rest position, causing a change in capacitance between fixed and movable electrodes. This capacitance variation is detected by electronic circuits and converted into an electrical signal proportional to the acceleration along the body axis. The signal is processed by IMU to determine shifts in position or movement caused by gravity or external forces.

[0045] The gyroscope disclosed above measures angular velocity using a vibrating structure or spinning mass that resists changes in orientation due to the conservation of angular momentum. In MEMS gyroscopes, a tiny vibrating element of a resonating mass suspended by springs detects rotation. When the user rotates, Coriolis forces act on the vibrating mass, causing a measurable shift in vibration pattern or displacement. This shift changes the capacitance between electrodes surrounding the mass, which is detected by integrated circuits and converted into an electrical signal proportional to the rate of rotation around the sensor’s axis. The signal is processed by IMU to determine tilt or rotational movement.

[0046] The magnetometer disclosed above works measuring the strength and direction of magnetic fields, where a thin conductive material changes electrical resistance in response to an external magnetic field. As the footwear interacts with the Earth's magnetic field, these changes in resistance are converted into voltage signals, which are processed to determine the magnetic field’s vector components along three axes, by comparing these components, the magnetometer calculates the user’s orientation relative to magnetic north, effectively serving as a digital compass. This directional data is essential for correcting drift in accelerometer and gyroscope readings. Magnetometers enhance orientation accuracy by providing heading information and helps to maintain correct alignment, compensate for rotational errors during footwear movement. The IMU's internal processor combines this data and transmits to the microcontroller for determining misalignment.

[0047] An inflating unit is embedded with the belt 117, connected to a cushioned member 118 arranged around the waist to absorb impact energy, for minimizing shock and preventing potential injury. When the IMU sensor identifies abnormal acceleration, tilt or angular velocity indicative of a potential fall, immediately signals the microcontroller to activates the inflating unit, which inflates the cushioned member 118 to form a protective buffer around the patient’s midsection for absorbing impact forces and reducing the risk of fractures, bruises or other serious injuries. The inflating unit consists of a compact gas canister, solenoid valve, pressure regulator, distribution tubing and the cushioned member 118 integrated into the waist belt 117.

[0048] When activated by the microcontroller, the solenoid valve opens, allowing pressurized gas from the canister to be released. The flow of gas is controlled by the pressure regulator to ensure safe, steady inflation without overexpansion. The gas travels through lightweight distribution tubing that channels directly into the cushioned member 118, which is made of flexible, airtight material developed to expand uniformly around the mid-section of the user’s body. The rapid release ensures inflation occurs within fractions of a second, effectively creating an airbag-like barrier to absorb impact forces and preventing potential injury.

[0049] A user interface is installed within the computing unit and is wirelessly linked with the microcontroller that facilitates caretaker to receive real-time alerts regarding improper brain wave pattern and blood circulation, feed time for medicine consumption and set of safe zone for the patient’s movement. The caretaker interacts with the interface through a touch screen, keyboard or other input methods available on the computing unit. The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but is not limited to smartphone, tablet or laptop that comprises a processor that receives data from the microcontroller, stores, processes and retrieves the output in order to display on the computing unit.

[0050] The wireless communication between the microcontroller and the computing unit is achieved through a communication module that is activated on pressing of the above disclosed push button. The communication module used herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication module used herein is preferably a Wi-Fi module that is a hardware component that enables the microcontroller to connect wirelessly with the computing unit. The Wi-Fi module works by utilizing radio waves to transmit and receive data over short distances. The core functionality relies on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which define the protocols for wireless local area networking (WLAN). Once connected, the module allows the microcontroller to send and receive data through data packets.

[0051] A GPS (Global Positioning System) module is embedded within the waist belt 117 to ensure continuous and precise location tracking, a crucial feature for Alzheimer’s care where wandering poses significant safety risks. The GPS module consists of a GPS antenna, RF front-end, baseband processor, memory, and communication interface, all working together to calculate the patient’s location. The GPS antenna captures signals transmitted from multiple satellites orbiting Earth, carrying timing and position data. These weak signals are amplified and filtered by the RF front-end to remove interference and prepare them for processing. The baseband processor then decodes the satellite data and computes the patient’s geographic coordinates through triangulation, using signals from at least four satellites to determine latitude, longitude, altitude and precise time. The computed location data is stored temporarily in memory and then delivered to the microcontroller via a communication module to enable accurate, continuous location tracking for monitoring patient movement, enforcing safe zone boundaries and triggering caregiver alerts when necessary.

[0052] A stabilizing module is integrated with the waist belt 117 to restrict unsafe movement of the patient. The stabilizing module comprises a series of L-shaped telescopic rods 119 equipped with suction cup 120 that firmly adhere to the underlying floor or surface, creating a stabilizing effect and effectively restricting further movement of the patient. When the GPS module detects that the patient has moved beyond a pre-defined safe zone, the location data is immediately processed by the microcontroller, which initiates a dual safety protocol to protect the patient and notify the caregiver. First, the microcontroller wirelessly transmits an instant alert to the caregiver’s user-interface, providing the exact location and status of the patient to ensure swift awareness and timely response. Simultaneously, actuates the L-shaped telescopic rods 119 which works by pneumatic unit that works same as above mentioned, to extend downward for positioning the suction cup 120 on the floor or surface for creating a negative pressure beneath the suction cup 120. This creates a strong adhesion between the flexible rim of the cup and the floor or surface for sealing off the area within the suction cup 120. These suction cups 120 are made from silicone rubber, which efficiently removes pressure inside the cup to create a vacuum seal when pressed against the surface. This generates a powerful adhesive force that securely holds the patient in an aligned and stable position, ensuring they remain near the detected breach point until assistance arrives, while minimizing risks of disorientation, injury or wandering and maintaining a controlled, protective environment for Alzheimer’s patients.

[0053] A holographic projection unit 114 is mounted on the wearable unit 101 to provide therapeutic visual stimulation for Alzheimer’s patients by projecting pre-saved images or videos around the patient’s immediate environment to reduce anxiety and calm the patient. When the inputs from EEG sensors 102 and blood flow sensor indicate abnormal neural activity, irregular rhythms or poor circulation that contribute to stress, agitation or discomfort, the microcontroller activates the holographic projection unit 114 to project pre-saved images or videos to reduce anxiety and calm Alzheimer’s patient. The holographic projection unit 114 consists of a high-intensity light source, spatial light modulator (SLM), diffraction optics and projection lens arrangement all working together to generate immersive 3D visuals.

[0054] The light source emits a coherent or high-brightness beam that is modulated by the SLM, which encodes the image or video data retrieved from the database. This modulated light passes through diffraction optics that manipulate wavefront patterns to create the appearance of depth and dimension. The projection lens arrangement then directs and scales the holographic image into the patient’s environment, ensuring clarity and stability even in varying ambient lighting conditions. These calming visuals help redirect attention, stabilize mood and provide reassurance in moments of confusion or distress. The response ensures that therapy is delivered proactively and instantly, without the need for caregiver intervention, thus supporting both emotional regulation and patient comfort.

[0055] An imaging unit 115 coupled with a speaker 116 is mounted on the head wearable unit 101 that receives an activation signal from the microcontroller, to continuously monitor medication adherence, a crucial aspect of Alzheimer’s patient care. The imaging unit 115 comprises of an image capturing module including a set of lenses that captures multiple high-resolution images or videos during scheduled intake periods to detect and verify whether the patient has consumed their prescribed medication, then the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 115 in form of an optical data.

[0056] The imaging unit 115 incorporates a processor that is fed with an artificial intelligence protocol which operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process optical data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, captured images are collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the optical data. The processor of the imaging unit 115 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and transmits to the microcontroller for analysis.

[0057] The speaker 116 disclosed above provides clear, audible reminders, ensuring the patient is instructed to take their medicine. The microcontroller maintains medication schedules stored in the database and when the set time for dosage approaches, activates the speaker 116 to provide audible instructions to guide the patient in consuming their medication. The speaker 116 works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal, consists of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, generates a varying magnetic field that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth.

[0058] This movement creates pressure variations in the surrounding air, generating sound waves in order to deliver audio reminders to the user. If the imaging unit 115 confirms that the medication has been taken, the microcontroller records the event and stores the adherence data within the database. In cases where the intake is missed, delayed or not verified, the microcontroller signals to generate alerts and notifies caregivers or healthcare professionals through the user-interface for timely intervention or review. This not only reassures patients through gentle reminders but also ensures accurate, verifiable tracking of medication usage, reducing risks associated with missed or repeated doses.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two electromagnetic springs are provided on both sides of the wearable unit 101, each developed to securely hold a pair of earbuds that remind the user of their identity information. When the inputs from the EEG sensors 102 and blood flow sensor indicate abnormal neural activity, irregular rhythms or poor circulation that contribute to agitation or discomfort, the microcontroller triggers the speaker 116 to produce a clear, audible instruction directing the patient to gently pull on the earbuds. Upon response, the electromagnetic spring extends smoothly, allowing the earbuds to be comfortably placed in the ears.

[0060] The electromagnetic spring consists of a coil assembly, ferromagnetic core, compression spring and guiding sleeve all working together to hold and release the earbuds efficiently. When inactive, the compression spring keeps the earbuds retracted in the cavity, ensuring they remain secure and protected. Upon receiving current from the microcontroller, the coil generates a magnetic field around the ferromagnetic core, creating a force that counteracts the compression spring tension and smoothly extends. This extension allows the earbud to be pulled comfortably by the patient without applying excess force.

[0061] Once worn, the earbuds activate by the microcontroller, which retrieves and plays pre-stored audio files containing repeated, simple and reassuring information such as the patient’s own name, age or identity details. For patients in advanced stages of Alzheimer’s, this personalized auditory reinforcement helps reduce anxiety, strengthens a sense of orientation and restores cognitive reassurance, maintaining a vital connection with personal identity eroded by memory decline.

[0062] The head wearable unit 101 uses communication module to connect the system to the cloud, enabling continuous remote health monitoring and caregiver support. All crucial patient data including EEG readings for brain wave analysis, blood circulation data from the blood flow sensor, medication adherence information from the imaging unit 115 and daily activity logs tracked by the microcontroller are uploaded to the cloud in real time. This ensures that the data is securely backed up, protected against loss and accessible anytime, anywhere by authorized caregivers or healthcare professionals. The microcontroller compiling and transmitting this information while also generating daily progress reports that are shared with the patient’s doctor or caregiver.

[0063] These reports allow medical professionals to evaluate ongoing treatment, monitor trends in neural and physiological health, adjust medications and provide timely interventions. When anomalies are detected, the microcontroller immediately issues real-time alerts to caregivers through the cloud interface, ensuring rapid response to potential health risks. By combining secure cloud connectivity with onboard processing, this guarantees uninterrupted monitoring, personalized healthcare adjustments and peace of mind for both patients and caregivers, while fostering proactive and data-driven Alzheimer’s management.

[0064] Lastly, a battery is associated with the system for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the system and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the system, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the system.

[0065] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the head wearable unit 101 is configured with the pair of strap 103 equipped with the motorized roller 104 and has free ends fitted with an electromagnet 105 to securely fasten wearable unit 101 around the user head. The EEG sensors 102 monitors brain wave patterns from scalp signals, while the microcontroller processes these signals to detect improper brain activity and identify the stage of Alzheimer’s disease The wearable unit 101 further incorporates the blood flow sensor for monitoring cerebral circulation. Upon detecting irregularity, the microcontroller actuates the massaging and aroma therapy module that includes the multi-sectioned chamber 107 with electronic valves 108 storing massaging oils of different aromas, the motorized sliding gate 109 for dispensing preferred oil, the telescopic rod 110 with the massaging roller 111 attached to the dual-axis lead screw arrangement 112 covers maximum scalp area to apply oil and provide massage. The cushioned patches 113 integrated with the Peltier unit provides scalp temperature regulation. The waist belt 117 integrated with the IMU sensor detects imbalance or potential falls, prompting the microcontroller to activate the inflating unit that rapidly expands the cushioned member 118 to absorb impact. The GPS module embedded within the belt 117 offers continuous location tracking and if the patient crosses the pre-defined safe zone, the microcontroller actuates the stabilizing module with L-shaped telescopic rods 119 and suction cup 120 to restrict movement while alerting the caregiver via the wirelessly linked user-interface. To enhance comfort and user well-being, the system further integrates the holographic projection unit 114 for displaying soothing pre-saved images and videos, the imaging unit 115 with speaker 116 for medication reminders and intake verification.
