Timeless App
Timeless is an app specifically created for those in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
Creating an app for people with early to mid-stage Alzheimer's or dementia has been Emma's focus for 2+ years. Emma Yang is a very young tech entrepreneur. She created Timeless, a first-of-its-kind, simple, easy-to-use app for people living with Alzheimer’s. Helping them to remember events, stay connected, and engaged with friends and family is its goal. People are also aided in recognizing family and friends through facial recognition technology. Emma's got more ideas once the app has launched which is scheduled for early 2019.
Making the most of every resource will help our loved ones live better longer. Using her personal experience with her Grandmother, Emma created something that will help thousands of people living with Alzheimer's. Using this app as a person living with Alzheimer's may help through the stimulation it gives their brain.
UPDATE!
Timeless 2.0 is now available worldwide. Timeless is a first-of-its-kind, simple, easy to use app for Alzheimer’s patients to remember events, stay connected and engaged with friends and family, and to recognize people through artificial intelligence-based facial recognition technology.
