改编)Emma is a 14-year-old student.
Her grandma has Alzheimer's disease which has caused her to forget things that were very important to her. Emma's family stay connected by sending her photos through her iPad, in hopes that she would remember them for as long as possible. Her caregiver would give her the iPad and she would look at the photos. Sometimes she remembers the people in the photos, but sometimes she doesn't, because recognizing people is becoming increasingly difficult. She also needs her caregiver to help her remember to do everyday tasks such as taking medicine or making phone calls. Her illness is making it difficult for her to stay connected with others.
As time went by, Emma started to wonder if there is a simple mobile app that could help her grandmother and other Alzheimer's patients remember events, stay connected with friends and family, and recognize people around them?
Emma's family hunted widely for such an app. But they were disappointed because in fact, the app they wanted didn't exist (存在). There are many tools in the market but none of them help patients improve their daily lives. They also found that there were very few apps developed for the elderly, due to the stereotype (刻板印象) that old people cannot use technology. They are the underserved people. Right at around that time, Emma started learning how to code in Swift, an iOS programming (编程) language. So she took the matter into her own hands and developed the app Timeless.
Emma spent two years working on the app that uses AI-powered facial recognition to help Alzheimer's patients identify people in their life. Patients take a photo of a person and the app helps them identify who that is, whether it is a loved one or a caregiver. The app also works as a daily planner and helps patients to remember events and stay connected to their social support system.
Emma is now working with an international team of developers to improve the app. With a design expert and a software developer, she believes she can make Timeless a convenient and user-friendly app for Alzheimer's patients.
1. What does the disease Emma's grandma has result in?
2. Why did Emma and her family feel disappointed?
3. Why were there few apps developed for the elderly?
4. How does the app help Alzheimer's patients identify people in their life?
5. What do you think of Emma? Why do you think so?
