Wearable assistant for memory support

MemPal is a wearable voice-based assistant designed to aid older adults with memory impairments. By using AI and a camera to log daily actions discreetly, it helps users recall misplaced items and track completed tasks through voice queries. MemPal provides proactive safety reminders and offers a summary of activities for caregivers and physicians, enhancing home safety and independence. It reduces caregiver burden and has potential for further integration with daily schedules and cognitive rehabilitation tools
