        abstract = {Memory-related disorders make it difficult for patients to manage daily activities like taking medicines on time and staying in safe areas. This paper presents SmartCare, an assistive eyewear system to help such patients. The system includes features like face recognition, GPS tracking, border alerts, and medicine reminders. The face recognition feature helps patients identify familiar individuals, while the medicine identification module ensures correct medication intake. The reminder system alerts patients at scheduled intervals, improving adherence to prescribed treatments. Medicines are identified using coloured containers, which makes the system simple and easy to use. The main aim of this system is to help patients take the correct medicine and improve their safety. The system is designed to be cost-effective, portable, and scalable, making it suitable for real-world healthcare applications and future enhancements.},
