The number of people living with dementia in the world is rising at an unprecedented rate, and no country will be spared. Furthermore, neither decisive treatment nor effective medicines have yet become effective. One potential alternative to this emerging challenge is utilizing supportive technologies and services that not only assist people with dementia to do their daily activities safely and independently, but also reduce the overwhelming pressure on their caregivers. Thus, for this study, a systematic literature review is conducted in an attempt to gain an overview of the latest findings in this field of study and to address some commercially available supportive technologies and services that have potential application for people living with dementia. To this end, 30 potential supportive technologies and 15 active supportive services are identified from the literature and related websites. The technologies and services are classified into different classes and subclasses (according to their functionalities, capabilities, and features) aiming to facilitate their understanding and evaluation. The results of this work are aimed as a base for designing, integrating, developing, adapting, and customizing potential multimodal solutions for the specific needs of vulnerable people of our societies, such as those who suffer from different degrees of dementia.

The number of senior citizens living alone are increasing in Japan. Accordingly, the budget for social security is increasing. The percentage of burden for social security budgets reached 69.5% only for senior citizens recently, and will increase more and more. These budgets are consumed in mainly in the larger hospitals. Thus, recently "in-house" health care for senior citizens is gathering much attention in Japan. Various "home-care" products are increasingly developed and implemented to care the health of the senior citizens. However, these products are usually expensive and their self installation is very difficult. In this research, we developed a wireless sensor network system that realizes easy installation and easy operation. Our preliminary experiments demonstrate that our system can surely find some anomaly sensing information without any difficult installation procedures.

“…Davenport mentioned the problem of infrequently-used systems about knowledge management; Knowledge applications have not been embedded into the flow of the job process with expert knowledge workers [6]. We defined this process as "the real world-oriented approach" and developed our ideas into the Mimamori-care system [5].…”

Abstract. We aim to clarify the requirements for the mimamori-care system in the group home to support caregivers who take care of persons with dementia (PWD). We investigated the effects of the prototype, which consists of several cameras and monitors, by interviewing eleven caregivers. We found that the prototype system not only helps the caregivers to watch out the people with dementia but also removes some stress caused by taking excessive precaution to residents' behaviors. Caregivers however reported some concerns to the violation of privacy as for the caregivers themselves and the residents alike.
