Description
Aygun Badalova published a research paper in 2025 on an app that helps people with dementia relearn the names of family and friends. Forgetting the names of loved ones is a common and painful part of the illness. The app, called Gotcha!, trains one face a day with photos and gentle, error-free practice.
Before the six-week training block, patients took weekly naming tests to set a baseline. A speech checker in the app gives feedback at once when a name is spoken. Among the first twenty users, four in five named faces better during training, and eight gains passed strict checks. Group tests backed the trend. The team also asked why patients join such projects.
