Indian teen prodigy Hemesh Chadalavada has harnessed his love for robotics to create a groundbreaking solution for Alzheimer’s care. Inspired by his grandmother’s struggles, he developed the Alpha Monitor—a discreet device alerting caregivers when wearers wander or fall.
Despite skepticism, Hemesh clinched victory at the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest, earning a $120,000 grant. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s praise and a resolve to launch by September, the young inventor looks set to revolutionize dementia care globally. Exams behind him, Hemesh is poised to embark on a promising journey in robotics abroad.
