Problem

Alzheimer’s patients and elderly users often struggle with remembering people, identifying medicine, and reacting quickly to daily situations. Traditional reminders are not always enough in real-time, especially in dynamic environments outside home.

1. Memory loss in daily interactions
2. Difficulty identifying medications
3. Limited situational awareness
4. Need for instant assistance
5. Need for safer independent living

Solution

Main Controller

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with quad-core CPU, built-in Wi-Fi, and CSI support for compact edge processing.

Camera Module

ZeroCam NOIR selected for minimal size, direct CSI compatibility, and low-light performance.

Display Module

1.51-inch Transparent OLED (128x64) using SPI/I2C for AR-style real-world overlay output.

Storage

64GB microSD for OS, codebase, logs, and temporary image buffering.

Power System

Type-C 5V/2A Power Bank Module replacing TP4056 + MT3608 with cleaner all-in-one charging/boosting.

Integration Result

End-to-end testing validated camera streaming, cloud inference, and live output rendering on transparent OLED.
