Global Awareness to Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia

The global economic impact growth of IoT by the end of 2025 is estimated to be around $12.5 trillion with more than 100 billion connected IoT devices. Developments worldwide expand the market for diagnosing, treating and monitoring neurodegenerative disorders. Developed and developing national markets hold high potential til 2025. IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications. The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications like a smart grid, and expanding to the areas such as smart cities.

Studies indicate that such early detection is possible, but more research is needed before these techniques can be used routinely to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease in everyday medical practice.

Mild Alzheimer’s Disease
As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, people experience greater memory loss and other cognitive difficulties. Problems can include wandering and getting lost, trouble handling money and paying bills, repeating questions, taking longer to complete normal daily tasks, and personality and behavior changes. People are often diagnosed in this stage.

Moderate Alzheimer’s Disease
In this stage, damage occurs in areas of the brain that control language, reasoning, sensory processing, and conscious thought. Memory loss and confusion grow worse, and people begin to have problems recognizing family and friends. They may be unable to learn new things, carry out multistep tasks such as getting dressed, or cope with new situations. In addition, people at this stage may have hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia and may behave impulsively.

Severe Alzheimer’s Disease
Ultimately, plaques and tangles spread throughout the brain, and brain tissue shrinks significantly. People with severe Alzheimer’s cannot communicate and are completely dependent on others for their care. Near the end, the person may be in bed most or all of the time as the body shuts down.

 
About
Zekel Healthcare, Mauris Griffin founder ZEHE (Healthcare)  The Company, healthcare IT using digital ecosystems to drive innovation research in Alzheimer’s is a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. The Internet of Things (IOT) is an ecosystem where multiple applications communicate with each other as a network. Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, and today of the 5.4 million Americans are living with the disease. Every 69 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease, and by mid-century someone will develop Alzheimer’s every 33 seconds.
