Cognitive Decline
Cognitive decline poses a significant health challenge, as it affects a substantial portion of the adult population, necessitates a dramatic increase in care workers, and often goes underreported in its early stages.

Long-term Bain Activity Monitoring
Our approach utilizes a non-invasive brain-computer interface, specifically Electroencephalogram (EEG), for prolonged tracking of cerebral functions due to its cost-effectiveness and simplicity in deployment.
Find Correlation between Healthy/Quality State and Daily Activities
To identify activities that enhance overall well-being, our approach utilizes multi-modal data input to classify activities and pinpoint those linked to preventive health methods. By correlating these activities with a 'Healthy Engagement' metric — defined as a balanced state of high cognitive engagement and good mental well-being — we can discern which activities most significantly contribute to an individual's well-being.

Physical Form
The physical form of the product prioritizes comfort and social acceptability, as it's intended for all-day wear and long-term monitoring, aiming for seamless, frictionless integration into daily life. Based on user feedback and comfort perception, we opted for an earable form. Recognizing the elderly's frequent need for hearing aids, our next design phase will investigate integrating our technology with hearing aids, particularly exploring bone conduction models compatible with our open-ear design.
