Planmaatje dementia planner

return

This project was made in cooperation with the Amphia hospital in Breda. In this project i created a special calander wich could help people with dementia to do theyre basic chores at home, so that they wouldn't have to enter an elderly home. To releave presure of care givers and elderly homes.
in the middle of the box there is a material wich can rotate slowly using 2 servo motors. every hour the planner would rotate to reveal a new task for the person to do. When rotated the planner would give a noise to lead the person to the calander. The calander would give tasks such as "take your medication" or"unload the dishwasher". A care giver has to come by once a week to change the calander, instead of every day to give care. This lifts weight of the care givers. The amount of tasks revealed at once can be changed depending on the prefereces of the person in question. Our product was voted the best of our class and was later tested with real people with dementia.
This project was made with arduino UNO and coded in C++.
