Alzheimer’s Disease is a leading cause of damage or loss of nerve cells and their connection in the brain. Depending on the area of the brain that is damaged, it can affect people differently and cause different symptoms. There is no cure for this disease, although treatments are available that may improve some symptoms. Symptoms of this disease depend on the stage of the disease, they usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. An android application has been proposed that provides various tests in the form of levels of a game to detect whether a person suffers from Alzheimer’s disease or not and also tells them the stage of the disease i.e. Mild, Moderate, Severe which helps to track the status of the patient. The main intention of this application is to make the player feel like the person is not being tested but rather is playing a game full of fun and excitement. At the same time, the application determines the ability to remember everyday things. People who have Alzheimer's are characterized as having problems with their cognitive functions, memory loss, and personality changes that affect large areas of brain certainty.
