Description
Wan-Tai Au-Yeung and co-authors pair home sensors with weekly surveys to study how social life sways behavior in dementia, in a 2023 conference paper. Mood and conduct symptoms shadow most dementia courses, and the home's social air may feed or calm them. Two sister studies feed the work: one tracks agitation in late-stage dementia, the other apathy, low mood, and anxiety in a wider elder group.
Small early crews, nine pairs and nine solo participants, report symptoms each week online. Bed mats, motion sensors, and wearables meanwhile log the house: time out, rooms in use at once, and how many people and pets are in. Surveys add trips away and overnight guests. By laying the two streams together, the team hunts links between company and symptoms. The design aims at care that treats the social setting, not just the patient.
