🧠 Introduction

Echo Mind is a full-stack application designed to assist individuals suffering from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. It blends facial recognition, cognitive stimulation, safety mechanisms, and personalized daily assistance into a single accessible platform.

Echo Mind is crafted for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers—empowering independence while supporting memory retention and cognitive health.

❗ Problem Statement

With over 55 million people globally battling dementia, most patients face:

• Forgetting loved ones’ faces and names
• Skipping crucial medications
• Disorientation and panic during daily life
• Accelerated cognitive decline without stimulation

Current tools are fragmented, lack personalization, and are often too complex for daily use. A unified, intuitive platform can offer life-changing assistance.
