Abstract

Currently there is a lack of digital tools for assessing the Wellbeing of those affected by dementia in a home environment. This paper presents an alternative to existing assessment modalities in order to facilitate large scale collection and analysis of data. This development will allow those affected to be assessed from the comfort of their own home, potentially reducing time costs and personal discomfort associated with assessment. Existing Wellbeing measures were evaluated against inclusion criteria and four tools were considered appropriate to develop into a digital application. An additional tool was also developed for quick assessment. Issues surrounding the use of technological devices for those affected by dementia are also considered. In light of these considerations an Android application was developed for Wellbeing self-assessment. Finally, the methods and approaches for user-evaluations of such technologies are explored.
