Under Watch and Ward at Night: Design and Evaluation of a Remote Monitoring System for Dementia Care
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ageing population as well as the tight labor market put pressure on future health care. In this article, we explore the role of monitoring systems in health care. By incorporating principles of Value-Sensitive Design in a Human Centered Design process we developed a system for remote monitoring at night in dementia care. The performance of the working system was evaluated in the real-life context of a nursing home. Next to reporting the design and evaluation of the monitoring system, we reflect upon the approach taken.
