Lumo
A hardware navigator
Lumo is a simple and intuitive navigator for people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Lumo allows users to find their way to their favorite destinations, without needing a smartphone, a difficult object to use for our target. Its shape is reminiscent of an electric torch, an object to which our users are accustomed to.
Lumo is a tool to achieve autonomy and to improve the relationship with the caregiver.

Service System
There are several actors and touchpoints involved in the system.
The former, the main users of the project, will buy the navigation device while the latter will trace patients through a paid app.
The calls, that can be made either through the app or through the device in case of emergency, are directed to local authorities such as first aid and police, other key players in the service.
Lumo App
The caregivers’ app is essential for using Lumo. Through a seamless experience it is possible to set addresses, names and icons for patients’ destinations. The app allows the caregivers to track the patients and contact the local authorities in case of emergency. It is also possible to register the patients' medical record and share the data with other family members or carers.
