The problem: Dementia Care
• Inaccessible – Unaffordable - Inefficient Care of Dementia
• No specific treatment – lifestyle/non-pharmaceutical
• High 1 Nurse per 1 Patient Effort
• High cost
• Lack of objective information
Yearly cost of dementia
care in 2030
People living with dementia in
2050
People living with
dementia now
46M 135.5M 2T $
1 in 2 over 80 (US)
Growing Numbers for Dementia
Overall approach
Enhance current clinical workflow:
 Continuous, comprehensive monitoring of PwD, condition and
progression
 Objective multi-sensor measurements (limiting interpretation
subjectivity)
Connect monitoring results with dementia staging and
assist diagnosis
Provide PwD with regular personalized feedback, updates
and interventions
 Improving condition
 Enhancing a sense of safety and increased independence
Relieve informal carers
The Solution
• Existing IoT and wearable sensors provide diverse measurements
(steps, HR, presence, object usage)
• Intelligent analysis turns them into meaningful and useful behaviors
and symptoms (cooking, chores, TV, sleep, stress)
… in order for clinicians to provide care more effectively and efficiently

granularity
• Low-level observations (e.g. objects, locations)
• Complex activity models (e.g. tea preparation)
• Clinical knowledge (e.g. problems, monitoring parameters)

Context-based Multi-sensor
Fusion and Analysis
15
• Objective: Fusion of information coming from heterogeneous sources in
order to derive high-level interpretations of the behaviour of the person
• Our approach: Knowledge-driven semantic segmentation and
classification of context
• Combination of SPARQL and OWL 2 meta-modelling

Conclusions
• IoT Constantly evolving – especially wearables
• New modalities, reliability, acceptance and user-related parameters
• Platform flexibility, also to pilot – deployment scale and complexity
• Sensors, analytics, visualization, interpretation can assist
staging and interventions
• Difficult to differentiate between actual contribution and enhanced
social activity
• Large-scale pilots and security aspects
• Big Data – Machine Learning approaches
• Emphasis on physical and cognitive interventions
• EEG mobile devices
• New applications
• Outdoor environment, smart cities
• Working environments, e.g. Mental Health of Employers

Editor's Notes

  • #3: We all know the importance of fighting the increasing upsurge of people with dementia and other chronic diseases. The market opportunity for dementia care products is huge as million new cases of dementia occur each year. What many don’t know/An interesting fact is that currently the only known treatment are psychological interventions, such as brain games, exercise, consuming natural products e.g. tea. These are driven/designed by nurses or psychologists observing people, which makes them costly & error prone.
  • #5: In carealia we utilse Interconnected IoT sensors such as retail wearables gather vitals & various raw data signals These are then interpreted and fused into more meaningful symptoms and behavioral patterns related to the disease, such as stress etc. Monitoring anytime through web & mobile applications supports doctors to tailor interventions & care while supporting users & their loved ones feel included.
  • #16: SPARQL to query and retrieve observations C1, C2, etc (e.g. CupMoved, KettleMove, KettleOn, KitchenPresense) from the Knowledge Base Then try to form clusters of observations which form activities, according to the ontology context descriptors (e.g. MakeTea) This is done with our own algorithm which performed as follows (see Table)
  • #25: Bold - purple statistical significant difference between two neuropsychological assessments
  • #26: P values show Statistical Significant Difference between 1st and 2nd half mean values (bold - purple)
