Abstract
We describe the challenge set to us within the
Dem@Care project, of designing a multi-component
system to support safety, enablement, and diagnosis
for older adults with dementia. Specifically we discuss
the system as it relates to home-based enablement.
Person-centred care is the gold standard in dementia
care, which we incorporate into technology design by
engaging in a user-led, participatory approach. The
result of our considerations is the Dem@Care “toolbox”,
a solution which addresses the challenge of providing
home-based, person-centred care and enablement for
older adults with dementia, utilising sensor
technologies. The current text describes the toolbox
and the terms of its future deployment.
