Abstract :
Alzheimer's disease presents a global
challenge, affecting the ability of individuals to
communicate and trust their caregivers. Effective
caregiver interactions are vital for emotional well-being
in Alzheimer's patients. However, the progressive nature
of the disease often leads to communication barriers and
a lack of trust, exacerbated by the absence of objective
trust assessment mechanisms. Additionally, patients are
unable to recall past conversations. To address these
challenges, EmoConnect proposes an innovative ML-
based solution. EmoConnect solution involves the
development of an ML based application that employs
brain wave detection and analysis to objectively assess
caregiver trustworthiness during interactions with
Alzheimer's patients. It calculates a trustworthiness
score, enhancing the quality of caregiving and promoting
emotional well- being for both caregivers and patients.
Furthermore, it stores the text of conversations alongside
trust scores, enabling patients to access and review past
interactions.
