# Memory-Supplementing Apps Samsung's Memory Recaller Helps Alzheimer Patients Cope with Memory Loss By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-05-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-loss References: [creativecriminals](http://creativecriminals.com/samsung/samsung-memory-recaller) & [samsung](http://www.samsung.com/) Working with dementia specialists at the Praram9 Hospital, [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medications-tracking) developed the Memory Recaller, an app designed to assist Alzheimer patients with [memory loss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thennow). The app is designed to help jog their memories for particular people and activities, reducing feelings of confusion and isolation. The app is essentially like a contact book, which lets a user plug in a photo of a person, as well as key in their name and their relationship to them. Then, the next time a person with Alzheimer using this app comes face-to-face with someone logged in their app, [facial recognition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermemory) will pick up on who they are and audio cues will supply more information. Since a loss of independence is part of old age and dealing with diseases, this app provides a discreet way for someone suffering from Alzheimer to take back control of their lives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Memory-supplementing Apps:** Opportunity for technological innovations that support memory recall and assist individuals with Alzheimer's. - **Facial Recognition Technology:** Disruptive innovation potential to enhance the functionality of memory-recalling apps for Alzheimer's patients. - **Assistive Health Technologies:** Growing trend of developing technology-based solutions to help individuals cope with memory loss and maintain independence. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** Opportunity for healthcare providers and tech companies to collaborate in developing innovative apps and technologies for memory support. - **Software Development:** Rising demand for skilled software developers to create memory-recalling apps and implement facial recognition technology. - **Geriatric Care:** Opportunity for geriatric care facilities and professionals to incorporate memory-supplementing apps into their care practices for Alzheimer's patients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Memory Trainer Exercises](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumemory.md) - [AI Dementia Care](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-dementia-care.md) - [Private Photo Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory.md) - [Memory Function-Supporting Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-functionsupporting-supplement.md) - [AI Alzheimer's Avatars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alzheimers-intelligence.md) - [Digital Memory Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-memories.md) - [Digital Medication Management Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medications-tracking.md) - [Digital Memory Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remember-pad.md) - [Memory Improvement Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-flashcards.md)
