When Hemesh was 12, his grandmother Jayasree, then 63, accidentally left the gas on in the kitchen after making herself a cup of tea.The incident frightened Hemesh who found himself wondering what would have happened if he hadn't been there. Witnessing his grandmother suffer from dementia, Hemesh knew that he had to do something, so he turned to the Internet.After watching robotics courses online and taking advantage of his passion for coding, Hemesh set about creating a smart device. He spent time in a day centre to learn more about the needs of people with dementia.And 20 failed versions later, the Alpha Monitor was born.Using advanced machine­learning technology, the device, which can be worn on the wrist, sends an automatic alert to caregivers when any abnormal activity is detected, such as whether the user falls down, wanders off, or has an accident.While other devices rely on Wi­Fi and are therefore unable to detect movements outside a limited range, the Alpha Monitor uses long­range technology that can detect a person's movements more than a mile away in cities and three miles away in the countryside. Sadly, Jayasree passed away last year, but her death has only reinforced Hemesh's determination to continue his mission of improving dementia care far and wide.Dhruv Saidava, Hemesh's mentor, said, “I first met Hemesh in 2019 during Ideate for India ...Hemesh stood out.What set him apart was his exceptional talent for thorough research and hands­on ability.” In future, he plans to do research at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and improve the Alpha Monitor so that it's ready for market.He has made it clear that he wants the device to be sold at an affordable price so that it's accessible to people in less developed countries. 1．What inspired Hemesh's invention?
