Abstract

With the technological advancements in the domain of computer science, Medicinal and engineering fields, Intelligent Assistive Technologies (IAT) have been developed to mitigate the burden of caretakers and patients of Alzheimer’s. A wide variety of IAT has been developed. Caretakers and patients of Alzheimer’s will be much relieved if there are tools that assist them in performing their daily activities like bathing, cooking, hand wash, brushing and medication aids etc. Further, a safety system that ensures the safety of the patients like fall detection, gas leakage detection and fire detection etc. is also needed. This paper mainly reviews various existing IAT for medication aids, brushing and fall detection. Thus, this provides new research challenges and future directions for other researchers working in this area.
