Alzheimer's disease progressively impairs memory and cognitive functions, but many patients continue to bring joy through brief moments of connection. This project was inspired by my experience volunteering at a nursing home in Savannah, where I saw the emotional resilience of Alzheimer's patients.

The product is designed to help patients reconnect with memories and provide emotional support. It creates moments of comfort through familiar sounds and gentle lights, improving their quality of life with both practical assistance and emotional engagement.
