Abstract

Dementia is an illness with complex health needs, varying between individuals and increasing in severity over time. Approaches to use technology to aid people with dementia are often designed for a specific environment and/or purpose, such as the RadioMe system, a system designed to detect agitation in people with mild dementia living in their own home and calming them with music when agitation is detected. Both the monitoring and intervention components could potentially be beneficially used outside of the own home to aid people with dementia and carers in everyday life. But the adaptation could put additional burdens on the carer, as many decisions and the handling of the data and software could rely on their input. In this paper we discuss thoughts on the potential role of the carer for adaptations of specified system’s expansion to a larger ecosystem on the example of RadioMe.
