Neurodegenerative mania, like Alzheimer complaintandmadnesswithLewybodies,aremostcommon in the senior, while traumatic brain injury and brain excrescences are common causes in youngish grown-ups. While the recent decade has seen significant advancements in molecular neuroimaging, in understanding clinicopathologic correlation, and in the development of new biomarkers, clinicians still await complaint- modifying curativesforneurodegenerativemania.Untilalso,clinicians from varied disciplines and medical specialties are well poised to palliate suffering, aggressively treat contributing conditions, employ specifics to ameliorate cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and motor symptoms, promote substantiation- grounded brain-healthy actions, and ameliorateoverallqualityoflifeforcasesandfamilies

1.INTRODUCTION
Dementiaisadisorderthatmanifestswithasetof accompanying symptoms, usually when the brain is damaged by injury or disease. Symptoms involve a progressive disorder in memory, thinking, and behavior that negatively affects a person's ability to function and carryoutdailyactivities.In additiontomemoryproblems and thought disturbances, the most common symptoms include emotional problems, language difficulties, and decreased motivation.

1.2 Problem Statement
DementiapatientswillprofitfromanSmartphone app. The Dementia is a disorder which manifests as a set of related symptoms, which usually surfaces when the brain is damaged by injury or disease. The symptoms involveprogressiveimpairmentsinmemory,thinking,and behavior, which negatively affect a person's ability to function and carryout everyday activities. Major problem with Alzheimer cases would be to help them with diurnal chores. Alzheimer care targets all similar problem and helps to get all features under one app. The being system hasoperationswhichareconfinedonlytoultra expensive druggies and high- end Smartphone The operations had only features of storing particular information in a textbook format and could have only limited information Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative kind of dementia that affects memory and thinking abilities as well as the capacitytoperformeventhesimplesttasks.Itaffects10% of people worldwide who are 65 years or older .The patient's long-term memory is still functional in the early stages,althoughrecentinformationliketimeanddaymay be forgotten. The disease also has a strong impact on the family members who must endure heartbreaking emotional experiences as a result of seeing an elderly parent or spouse in such a state. We consequently made thedecisiontodevelopanapptoassistcareersandfamily members in keeping the patient mentally active and thereby assisting with brain workouts Damage to your brainresultsindifferentsymptoms,dependingonthearea of your brain affected. Some dementias aren’t reversible and will worsen over time. Other dementias are due to other medical conditions that also affect your brain.

2. Literature Survey
2021 TuckWoon,et.al Dementiacareapps for people with dementia and informal caregivers: a systematic review protocol
2022 AngelHWang,et.al
Beyond instrumental support: Mobile application use by family caregivers of persons living with dementia
Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists will be used to assess the study quality.
Qualitative description approach
Sampled from Extensive databases
Knowledge gap in older adults were not explored in the review
involving the ages, location of the caregiver, relation ofthepatienttothe caregiver
Thestudy needsto explore persons living with dementia - needs, preferences could inform developers on what types of appsaresuitable

3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Proposed system consists of a native mobile applicationforandroidaswell asiOSbasedsmartphones. Our idea is to develop an application that helps them in their daily routine tasks, focusing on the problems they face in every stage, take Emergency Details, Set Food, Water,andCustom Reminders, emergencyMessagealerts and Quick dial module along with Personal information sectionNavigationtohomeusingGoogleMaps
Advantages:
•Quickdialmodule
•SetFood,Water,andCustomReminders
•EmergencyMessagealerts
•Personalinformationsection
•NavigationtoHomeusingGoogleMaps
4. SYSTEM DESIGN

Dementia is a degenerative ailment that ultimatelyaffectsaperson’scapabilitytolivesingly.There are numerous types of dementia, although Alzheimer’s diseaseisthemostcommontype.Deliriumanddepression canbeconfusedwithdementiaandathoroughevaluation should rule out other causes of cognitive loss previous to making a determination of dementia. Although people with dementia frequently parade actions that are challenging for family and professional caregivers to manage,theactionsarecausedbydamagetothebrainand aren't purposeful. Challenging actions can be caused by unmet requirements and may be a means of communication. By precisely observing what comes directly ahead and after a geste , the caregiver may be suitable to determine the underpinning need and learn howtopalliatethegruelinggeste.
