THE INNOVATION GENERATED FROM JAIM
LYN DENEND
"There's so much to love about JAIM but one thing I'm excited about is that it's bringing together talented students to then interact with healthcare professionals and innovators from Japan"

REMBUDS
76% of Lewy body dementia patients have REM sleep behavior disorder, with 64% of them assaulting their partners and 32% injuring themselves during sleep. The yellow earbud-like device is worn only 1hr/day to electrically stimulate the transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve and reduce sleep-related injuries. This saves $7 billion annually in healthcare costs.

HELPER-SAN
2.32 million of 5.8 million people living with dementia in the US suffer from aggression, pushing them out of homes to facilities which raise healthcare costs and lower clinical outcomes. This device prevents aggressive episodes by collecting voice data, using neural network for voice sentiment analysis, and classifying agitation. Then, the trigger is addressed with interventions from the avatar and notifications to the family caregiver.

PATIENT-CAREGIVER COMMUNICATION
Dementia patients face trouble expressing their thoughts to caregivers while caregivers are already burdened with exhaustion and understaffing. This fashionable earpiece to be worn by caregivers has a small camera, computer vision software that analyzes non- verbal cues & facial micro-movements of patients, and an earphone that outputs emotional information and suggestions for action to be taken, ultimately reducing caregiver stress.
