The boy is 15 years old and invented Alzheimer's

The boy Kenneth Shinozuka (15 years old, in New York, USA) invented the unique 'wearable sensor' sensor that helps look after Alzheimer's patients.

This small but practical device can change the lives of millions of Alzheimer's sufferers of memory loss.

'Wearable sensor' is an ultra-thin touch device that can attach to a patient's foot or socks. Every time they lift their feet, the device immediately sends a signal to the software installed on the phone and the phone will sound a warning to the caregiver, avoiding the situation of Alzheimer's patients wandering and getting lost. when no one noticed.

Love for his grandfather, an Alzheimer's patient for many years, is the driving force behind a 15-year-old boy studying this device.

Kenneth Shinozuka said that he never forgot at midnight when the police took him home when he discovered he was wandering on the highway in pajamas.

Before joining the Google Science Fair, Kenneth tested his new device with his own for six consecutive months. As a result, he announced 437 times of his move and had never made a mistake.

Currently, Kenneth is making about 100 ultra-thin touch devices for nursing homes.

Not satisfied with the new contribution in supporting Alzheimer's patients, this high school student is still intending to solve some other mysteries in the brain, finding ways to treat Alzheimer's disease as well as some diseases. Other nerves are common in older people.

With a highly practical invention, Kenneth won the 'Science in Action' award from the US $ 50,000 Scientific American company, sponsored by the Google Science Fair 2014.

This is an annual award for young people to honor projects that are effective in addressing environmental, health and resource issues.
