SAMi

Disorientation of people with dementia is a heavy burden for caregivers – especially in nursing and care facilities. To support nurses and care givers, we are aiming at an assistive system which, based on sensory inputs, generates suitable interventions to support the people with dementia. Based on a customised sensor bracelet, we gather motion, location and contextual sensor data. Based on the recorded data and available schedules and maps of the environment, the system supports the patients to orient themselves in space and time, and supports the care givers by forwarding relevant alerts.
