Summary

An estimated 70% of the 7.2+ million people in the U.S. with Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias experience agitation, characterized by poorly organized and purposeless psychomotor activity that diminishes their quality of life. The goal of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to develop a wearable therapy device that automatically senses rising agitation, and alerts caregivers while deploying calming voice and music therapy to help them avoid crisis level behavior. This device will improve health outcomes for AD/ADRD sufferers and reduce the substantial stress suffered by their caregivers.

Interventions

DEVICE

Memesto

Edgewater plans to develop the next generation Memesto, a wearable device able to sense increasing agitation in ADRD sufferers and automatically deliver agitation-reducing personalized voice messages and music most effective at calming the individual based on past interventions. This innovative product will be the first wearable ADRD device to track agitation via body-worn sensors and automatically deploy agitation-reducing voice and music therapy without any caregiver interaction. The new system will use analytics to track the effectiveness of the various media and update the calming 'play list' over time.
