Challenges in Supporting Individuals with Brain Dysfunctions

Individuals with brain dysfunctions often face difficulties with everyday tasks, including cooking. Existing support mechanisms can be inconsistent and may not adequately address the need for independent living skills. Lack of accessible, user-friendly tools hinders their ability to maintain a healthy and independent lifestyle.

About the Client

The NHS is the publicly funded healthcare system of the UK, responsible for providing comprehensive healthcare services to all residents.

Project Goals

Develop a mobile application to assist individuals with brain dysfunctions in cooking independently.
Provide a simple and intuitive interface for recipe access and navigation.
Enable offline access to recipes for use in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.
Implement voice control functionality to facilitate hands-free operation of the application.
Offer a synchronization mechanism via a wearable device (bracelet) to provide reminders and prevent forgotten steps.
Enhance user safety and independence through integrated features like text message alerts for extended inactivity.

Expected Business Impact

Successful development and deployment of the Connected Kitchen application will improve the quality of life and promote independence for individuals with brain dysfunctions. This will reduce the burden on caregivers and the healthcare system, potentially leading to cost savings and improved patient outcomes. The application will also enhance the NHS's commitment to providing accessible and inclusive healthcare solutions.
