The Warm Smile App is designed to bring joy to people with dementia by facilitating access to media devices through image and voice recognition.
The Warm Smile App aims to lower the barrier to access media devices. The app allows individuals with dementia to use media devices with ease, even when their symptoms are very severe. The most important aspect of the app is the possibility of easily accessible social contact via video calls. Image recognition can be used to determine if a person with dementia is available for a video call with their family. If so, the family can receive a notification and start the conversation, which will be automatically accepted.
Another feature included in the app is to provide personal media, such as music, videos and photos, to bring joy and comfort.
