Pervasive Electronic Monitoring in Healthcare

The aim of this project is to increase the quality of life of People with Dementia (PwD) by assisting them in their daily life activities as well as enabling their social engagement with other persons that include care-givers, family members as well as other members within their community. Given that PwD may struggle in their daily live activities, this research investigates how quality of life technology can improve the way formal carers monitor PwD.

Monitoring PwD is challenging so this research aims to build a large dataset that will allow researchers to improve the way we recognise human activities of PwD. This will be possible through the use of mobile applications and various sensors that will be worn by healthy participants that simulate specific activities of PwD. This dataset will be used in other research projects to further improve technologies and IT solutions within pervasive ecosystems that are being proposed.
