Towards a situation model for assessing challenging behaviour of people with dementia |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
With the increase of elderly population, the percentage of people suffering from dementia also increases. Typically, patients with dementia are cared for at home by family members. The task of caregiving is associated with significant psychological and physical stress that affects both the caregiver and the person with dementia. One solution to improving the task of caregiving is to provide an assistive system that is able to automatically recognise when challenging behaviour is exhibited and to provide suggestions for appropriate intervention strategies. To achieve that however, the system needs a situation model that provides the context information needed to recognise the type of behaviour and to reason about its causes. To address this problem, this paper performs a systematic analysis of the elements needed for building a situation model for assessing the behaviour of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The analysis consists of literature review, interviews with experts, and brainstorming sessions. As a result, the work proposes a concept of a situation model for assessing the challenging behaviour of people with dementia based on sensor observations. |
