This paper explores the development of smart
glasses equipped with an ESP32-CAM module and a supporting
mobile application to enhance memory care for Alzheimer’s
patients. Alzheimer’s patients often face challenges related to
memory loss and disorientation, which can lead to confusion
and emotional distress. The proposed system addresses these
issues by combining wearable technology with visual recognition
capabilities. The ESP32-CAM module, mounted on the glasses,
captures images of the patient’s surroundings and recognizes
familiar faces, locations, or objects through coded image recog
nition algorithms. The mobile application, connected via Wi
Fi or Bluetooth, processes this information and delivers real
time prompts to the patient through audio or visual cues in
the glasses. These prompts help patients identify people and
contextual information, assisting with recall and orientation
and providing a greater sense of familiarity and reassurance.
This paper aims to improve the quality of life for Alzheimer’s
patients by enhancing their independence and reducing moments
of confusion, ultimately supporting caregivers and improving
patient well-being in memory care settings.
