Tool for extracting and visualizing travel patterns

There are 7.7 million new cases of dementia each year. This means that every 4 seconds, there is someone in the world diagnosed with dementia [1]. With such a rapid increasing number of Dementia patients, there is a high demand to carry out research to study on Dementia and find ways to save their l...
