Catherine H. – Green Machine Researcher – 6th Grade
The researchers from both teams have been going back and
forth with on so many ideas. The Green
Machine researchers thought they had come up with a revolutionary idea, a GPS
watch that helped Alzheimers patients find their way around the house. We soon discovered that the idea had already
been created – back to the drawing board...
The Owl Bots also
suffered through the same disappointment.
They thought they had a great idea for a pill dispenser that made sure
the right combinations of pills were dispensed at the right time and it
notified caregivers when a patient forgot to take their medications. But with some further research they
discovered that a very similar solution had been thought of just a year ago –
back to the drawing board…
Luckily, one member
of their team came up with an awesome idea new idea – a facial recognition app
for iPhone and iPad so that Alzheimers patients can easily identify friends and
family members’ names. After a lot of
research we are confident no other app exists for this purpose.
The Green Machine
researchers have been looking at music and memory. We decided on a keyboard attachment for
wheelchairs but now we think our solution is too limited – back to the drawing
board…
