Dementia

285
Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Dementia is increasing, causing memory decline, loss of self-care, and rising costs.
  • Non-pharmacological interventions are effective in slowing dementia progression.
  • Information and Communications Technology (ICT) offers innovative solutions for dementia care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a "positioning and shadowing system" using ICT to delay short-term memory degeneration in dementia patients.
  • To develop integrated physical and digital training courses for indoor patient location and cognitive enhancement.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Bluetooth Low Energy, fingerprint location algorithms, and short-range wireless communication for indoor positioning.
  • Applied Internet of Things (IoT) technology within a clinical training setting for short-term memory exercises.
  • Conducted a pilot test to assess the system's effectiveness and user experience.

Main Results:

  • The system demonstrated significant learning effects in cognitive training for dementia patients.
  • The technology proved capable of assisting medical personnel with training and nursing tasks.
  • Participants reported high satisfaction with the training courses and system usability.

Conclusions:

  • The positioning and shadowing system is a viable digital smart cognitive training tool for dementia care.
  • This technology can aid in observing dementia patients' performance in daily living activities.
  • Further research can build upon this system for enhanced dementia management and support.
