WINNERS

Yaad is an AI-powered memory assistant designed to help people living with dementia and cognitive impairment maintain independence in their daily lives. People with dementia often struggle to remember where they left everyday belongings, recall important information, or navigate familiar surroundings. These challenges can make them increasingly dependent on caregivers for everyday activities. Yaad addresses this through Meta smart glasses and AI-powered visual understanding. It captures real-world context, identifies everyday objects, and securely stores memories that users can later retrieve through natural voice interactions. By simply asking, "Where did I leave my keys?", users can receive the last recorded sighting of their belongings along with relevant visual and contextual information. Built using Meta's AI models, Meta smart-glasses ecosystem, and spatial computing technologies, Yaad combines visual intelligence, voice interaction, and persistent memory into an assistive experience that prioritizes accessibility, dignity, and independence. Our mission: **No one deserves to forget. Everyone deserves to remember.**
