Sharbani Ghosh, our final profiled Visual Communication student, who earlier earned her Bachelor of Architecture, has created a memory aid device for geriatric Alzheimer's patients.

Ghosh, whose interests include interaction design, web-based design, visual design and graphic design, says of the project, "I aimed to design a memory aide for elderly patients suffering from mild and moderate cognitive impairment owing to Alzheimer's disease, also know as age related dementia. The target age group was between 60 and 75. The project attempted to aid their memory in order for them to carry out their daily routine as close to normalcy as possible."

In order to understand Alzheimer's and how it affects patients, Sharbani was required to do careful study of afflicted patients and extensive research into the disease.
