After a couple of years of extensive Alzheimer's research and observation,
Yao created Eatwell, an indiegogo-funded campaign that makes tableware
designed for patients with cognitive impairments. The tableware features
color contrast between the inside and outside of the bowls, making it easier
to distinguish food from the bowl - often an issue for patients who use white
plates and become confused.
