“…AAL technologies can 1) monitor ambient temperatures, gases, and motion; 2) notify problematic changes to remote users; and 3) enable family and health care providers to predict and intervene on impending incidents. 47 , 48 For example, a stove temperature sensor can collect real-time temperature data. If the stove has been left on for too long, data points indicating the temperature are detected, compared, and then analyzed in order to generate an alert for distance caregivers.…”

Demographic aging of the world population contributes to an increase in the number of persons diagnosed with dementia (PWD), with corresponding increases in health care expenditures. In addition, fewer family members are available to care for these individuals. Most care for PWD occurs in the home, and family members caring for PWD frequently suffer negative outcomes related to the stress and burden of observing their loved one’s progressive memory and functional decline. Decreases in cognition and self-care also necessitate that the caregiver takes on new roles and responsibilities in care provision. Smart technologies are being developed to support family caregivers of PWD in a variety of ways, including provision of information and support resources online, wayfinding technology to support independent mobility of the PWD, monitoring systems to alert caregivers to changes in the PWD and their environment, navigation devices to track PWD experiencing wandering, and telemedicine and e-health services linking caregivers and PWD with health care providers. This paper will review current uses of these advancing technologies to support care of PWD. Challenges unique to widespread acceptance of technology will be addressed and future directions explored.

“…However, most are intended to be used by caregivers to support everyday tasks, such as dressing or cooking [33,39,65] or to keep the person with dementia safe (e.g. [24,29,41]). In this situation, the caregiver is tasked with setting up and maintaining the technology, while the person with dementia is a passive user of the technology.…”

“…Many current developments address the question of how to keep people with dementia safe (e.g. [24,29,41]). As wandering becomes a bigger problem, at level 2 this module used a bracelet to direct the resident home, much like de Jong and Brankaert's navigation device [13].…”

This paper explores how a design fiction can be designed to be used as a pragmatic user-centred design method to generate insights on future technology use. We built HawkEye, a design fiction probe that embodies a future fiction of dementia care. To learn how participants respond to the probe, we employed it with eight participants for three weeks in their own homes as well as evaluating it with six HCI experts in sessions of 1.5h. In addition to presenting the probe in detail, we share insights into the process of building it and discuss the utility of design fiction as a tool to elicit empathetic and rich discussions about potential outcomes of future technologies.

Using design fiction to reflect on autonomy in smart technology for people living with dementia

The field of HCI is changing, which brings with it new responsibilities. Ubiquitous computing touches on many aspects of modern life and its consequences are not yet fully understood. In the context of dementia ubiquitous technologies are currently developed to augment care and thereby enhancing quality of life for people living with dementia as well as reducing the financial pressures on the health care system. Within this paper a design fiction is presented as a method to explore the issues that may arise from the new technologies in this context. It introduces the idea of replacing Smart Home technology with wearable solutions to observe the technologies more critically through defamiliarization and use these observations to feed back into technology design.

Safe Home Program

Abstract: Technologies focused on ongoing surveillance for persons with dementia at the home are needed. These technologies could be quickly adopted by caregivers to ameliorate some of the stress and burden associated with providing care for persons with dementia.
