ABSTRACT
This work proposes an innovative home assisted system, based on the interaction of the stimulus earpiece. It addresses a need of people suffering from dementia as well as their familiars to be recognized by them and have better interaction and collaboration. The project aims not only to people already suffering from dementia at early stages but also people with genetic predisposition who may be trained appropriately to discover and create acoustical stimuli associated to their familiars. The system offers an ubiquitous recognition system, without the need for extensive training of the patient, based on the principles of music therapy and the features of wireless communication. To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first system of its kind ever reported in the literature.
