israeli technology revives alzheimer's patients' memory - touch screen monitor conversion kit

Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease that causes brain function to collapse.
A new computer program in Israel is trying to slow down the brain degradation of patients.
The computerized system was developed by the students of the Institute of Engineering.
Gurion university projects images, sounds and texts of the patient's past and stimulates him to remember past events.
Computer systems designed for patients and their families include computers and touch-
A screen monitor is installed with information in the life of the patient;
When operating it, patients can view and respond to images, sounds, and text.
The system was developed by two students, Moshe Barel and Yoni Epstein.
The purpose of the program is to encourage patients to remember and discuss their memories.
Use a simple interface with touch functionality
The screen monitor acts as a single input device and the patient can control the system without prior knowledge or training.
The system was developed in stages and evaluated by Alzheimer's experts, family members and patients themselves.
After each stage, the system is corrected and updated based on feedback.
In the final stage, five patients tested the system and received a very positive response.
Patients say watching episodes from the past is a "pleasant feeling ".
"This system will not delay the occurrence of this disease . "
Noam Tractinsky told Ynet, "but it does alleviate the work of caregivers and provide a good feeling for patients.
The system is customized.
Made for each patient, you can match the content according to the patient's preferences and mood.
These stimuli allow patients to exercise different brain functions that often deteriorate.
"So far, developers have not received any suggestions for commercial marketing, and the system is only for academic research.
