Alzheimer's disease is a gradual brain disorder and an irremediable disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. The contemporary solution for this disease includes forums for discussion, behavioural monitoring, and path sensing. The proposed solution is to create an application that acts as personal assistance to the patients. The features include face recognition, wandering and fainting detection, assistance to find a way home, reminders to daily chores and past life, organizing , and planning jobs. This can be implemented by using the sensors and GPS in smartphones to sense the actions of the patients. Deep learning and machine learning using python can be applied in android studio along with google maps. The games in the application that are specifically designed for the patient help them in the initial stage of the disease. Memory is improved by learning and making the brain engaged in some activity as it connects brain cells. The new feature in the application is face recognition, where the patient gets a reminder of persons they have met. This helps the patient to overcome the difficulties in recognizing people.
