SMRITI — Connected Alzheimer's Care

Inspiration

Alzheimer's affects millions, yet caregivers and doctors often lack real-time visibility into a patient's daily cognitive decline. We wanted to build something that bridges that gap — a tool that feels warm and human for patients, while giving doctors the clinical data they actually need.

What it does

SMRITI is a dual-interface care app with two user flows:

  • Patient side — A memory gallery for preserving personal moments, a daily brain puzzle for cognitive stimulation, and a personal analytics dashboard tracking performance over time.
  • Doctor side — A patient roster with status indicators, individual profiles, and line-chart analytics across three key motor metrics: Moves Per Minute, Incoordination Score, and Akinesia Time — tracked over a 3-month period.

How we built it

  • Designed the full UI/UX prototype in Figma and translated it into an interactive HTML/CSS/JS for charts and data analytics.
  • Embedded real patient game metrics from a CSV dataset (5 patients, 90 days each)
  • Built custom SVG line charts from scratch — no external chart libraries
  • Colour-themed the entire app around for a calm, accessible feel

Challenges we ran into

  • Designing two very different experiences (patient vs. doctor) within a single cohesive app
  • Making the patient-facing UI accessible and non-intimidating for elderly users while keeping the doctor view data-dense and clinical

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • A fully interactive prototype .
  • Dynamic analytics that respond to month and metric filters in real time
  • A design system that feels genuinely compassionate — not like a typical medical dashboard

What we learned

  • How to parse and visualise longitudinal health data meaningfully
  • The importance of designing for two radically different user mental models in one product
  • That small UI details — font size, colour warmth, large tap targets — matter enormously when designing for vulnerable users

What's next for SMRITI — Connected Alzheimer's Care

  • Live data sync via wearable devices or tablet-based game sessions
  • AI-generated clinical summaries flagging anomalies in patient trends
  • Family member access portal for informal caregivers
  • Multi-language support and voice navigation for patients with limited dexterity
