With the rapid aging of populations across East Asia, Alzheimer's care has become a pressing medical and cultural issue. The project investigates the gap between traditional family care models and modern design interventions, especially in the context of social taboos, caregiving burdens, and intergenerational communication. Through cross-national data and scenario reconstruction, it reflects on how to design with dignity, empathy, and cultural sensitivity.

Concern Horizons smartwatch is designed to offer gentle yet effective support for Alzheimer's patients and their families. Features include emergency location, one-tap SOS, vital sign monitoring, memory aid, and cognitive training. With lightweight, flexible form and minimalist Eastern aesthetics, the system minimizes the feeling of surveillance. Visualized interfaces and intuitive flows help users seek help under stress, while families can intervene remotely. The product integrates technology and empathy to create a truly caring experience.

This project was developed and refined through two major platforms: the Model Entrepreneur Competition (MEC) and the National Youth Entrepreneur Camp (NYEC). At MEC, the team conducted detailed product positioning and business model analysis, supported by multi-year financial projections. At NYEC, team members honed their public presentation and leadership skills while validating the idea in a market-facing environment. These dual-track experiences enabled us to iteratively strengthen both the strategic and communicative dimensions of our project.

Through cross-stage iteration—from field research to scaled implementation—I grew from a student innovator into a systems thinker. This journey deepened my empathy, sharpened my analytical lens, and strengthened my commitment to designing solutions with both technological integrity and human dignity.
