(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Doha: Qatar Foundation Research, Development and Innovation (QF RDI) has recently awarded its Innovation Coupon (IC) to a young and ambitious high school student and Qatari innovator, Haya Al Kubaisi, to help her develop a pioneering new product that aims to transform the lives of Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. Memories Matter is a smart bracelet that makes daily tasks easier. Alzheimer's disease causes the patient's brain to slowly deteriorate, and so the bracelet sends them reminders to take their medication and complete daily activities. For caregivers, the device allows their patients to have more independence by providing live location tracking, sound and pictures reminders of their daily activities, emergency call button to an emergency call center and a video call functionality.

We are excited to see the product develop and to witness the positive impact it will have on the healthcare industry and to people's lives in the near future, both in Qatar and beyond," Dr. Azza Al Tawashi, Industry, Investment and Business Development Manager at QF RDI, said.
