MNEMO is an AI Assistant app/device for Dementia Management. Dementia progresses through five stages over 12 years with personalized symptoms and behaviors, often requiring family care, which can cause family caregiver's mental health issues, known as "second patients." About 66% of family caregiver struggle to secure adequate support, leading to patient opioid misuse and significant stress, experiencing depression and anxiety. Utilizing EEG technology and BPSD methods with a device/app to collect and classify bio/non-bio data, MNEMO-SYNC provides personalized care manuals and data analysis for early diagnosis and personalized treatment manual throughout the dementia cycle. The algorithm-driven app combines BPSD cognitive impairment data with EEG brain wave tracking, creating a personalized algorithm to support family caregivers. In the preclinical/mild disorder stage (1-3 years), the device tracks and reports brainwave data, creating a symptom timeline. In the mild/moderate dementia stage (2-10 years), the EEG timeline and MNEMO reports aid early diagnosis. In the severe dementia stage (8-12 years), MNEMO Sync reports progression, predicting symptom patterns and recommending treatment in daily routine. This system supports enhanced and personalized dementia treatment throughout the progressive cognitive disorder cycle and reduces caregiving family's stress, resulting in their mental well-being and communication
