ReMind 🧠💊

A Voice-AI powered dashboard to support dementia & Parkinson’s care through precise medication reminders.

🚀 About the Project

Caring for loved ones with Dementia and Parkinson’s is overwhelming for families and caregivers. One of the biggest challenges in Parkinson’s care is managing medications like Levodopa/Carbidopa (Sinemet), which must be taken 3–5 times daily at precise intervals.

Without support, this creates major risks:

Patients may forget doses or double-dose, causing serious safety issues.

Family caregivers feel constant stress when away.

Professional caregivers juggle multiple patients without centralized tracking.

ReMind was built to solve this. Using Voice AI agents, our app demonstrates how medication reminders reduce missed or duplicate doses, keeping patients safe while easing caregiver stress.
