Remote Monitoring of Physiology in People Living With Dementia: An Observational Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables physiological measurements to be recorded at home from people living with dementia and monitored remotely. However, measurements from people with dementia in this context have not been previously studied. We report on the distribution of physiological measurements from 82 people with dementia over approximately 2 years.

Objective

Our objective was to characterize the physiology of people with dementia when measured in the context of their own homes. We also wanted to explore the possible use of an alerts-based system for detecting health deterioration and discuss the potential applications and limitations of this kind of system.

Methods

We performed a longitudinal community-based cohort study of people with dement
