Baidu created glasses for Alzheimer’s patients to help them to recognize family members, pets and the people that matter most in their lives. The AI glasses use face and speaker recognition technology to identify faces and speech biometrics. The precision rate of face recognition is 99.77%.

We first designed a prototype of the glasses. It contains sensitive chips inside that connects to the deep convolutional neural network via deep learning method and massive data in the Baidu database.

Through this model, the device can automatically detect the difference between different speaker-dependent characteristics from the acoustic feature and then extract speaker related representations.

By connecting to the Baidu database, the system constantly updates itself with new data that is being fed into it.

The first prototype was ready in March 2017 and was live-trialled with real Alzheimers' patients.

Till date, the system has a precision rate of 99.7%. It is still being constantly improved by the engineers at Baidu.

However, our early successes earned the AI Glasses a recommended by Alzheimer’s Disease China for use by Chinese patients.

We approached officers at Alzheimer's Disease China to gather relevant data, symptoms and maladies of Alzheimers'. With learning from them, we approached Baidu with a plan to maximize their face and voice recognition technologies.

Together with their engineers, we designed an artificial intelligence glasses that help to recognize facial contours and voice biometrics.

China, has the highest number of Alzheimer's patients in the world - approx. 9 million and counting. People afflicted with the disease are made outcasts by society.

However, they are still human beings with dignity that deserve our love and respect.

How can we help them slow the progress of Alzheimer's while giving them the respect and dignity that they deserve?
