SP  - 173
N2  - Dementia is the term used to describe the symptoms of an enlarged group of diseases that cause a progressive decline in the functioning of the person. It is a comprehensive term describing memory loss, intellectual capacity, reasoning, social skills and changes in normal emotional reactions. Memory loss is one of the main symptoms of dementia. Everyone occasionally forgets something, but the memory loss of a dementia patient is very different. It's persistent and progressive, not just casual. It can affect the ability to continue to work and perform familiar tasks. Simple task such as finding the way back home becomes a challenging work. The purpose of this research is to address the problem of a dementia patient of their forgetfulness by providing a special reminder in the form of a mobile application. An artificial intelligence technique was used in discovering a forgotten object in the form of point and discover. An image gallery of old photos is also used in stimulating the mind of a dementia patient to rekindle the memories. An initial test result indicates MyDem app able to assist dementia patients in living their daily life. © 2018 IEEE.
