The project DIANA improves the life and safety of mild to severely cognitive impaired persons 65 while assisting nurses and care givers by providing novel solutions for action and behaviour recognition. The enabling technology will be AI powered 3D sensors with embedded analytic algorithms. The metadata provided by these sensors will be seamlessly integrated into the nurses working routine and will free valuable time for personalized care. For mild to medium impaired persons these data will also be used to provide a virtual assistant which can guide through certain activities of daily living. A first activity where this will be tested focuses on toileting (personal hygiene), where hardly any technologies exist. DIANA has the unique goal of increasing people's autonomy and digitizing nursing assistance in this area.
Overview:
Digital Intelligent Assistant for Nursing ApplicationsSupporting caregivers of people with cognitive impairments through smart IT technologies.
Objectives:
The objective of DIANA is to improve the life and safety of mild to severely cognitive impaired persons 65 while assisting nurses and care givers by providing novel technological solutions. The enabling technology will analyse action and behaviour changes while ensuring data privacy. Furthermore, the project will study innovative ways how our data can be seamlessly integrated into the nurses working routine with the goal to free valuable time for personalized care. For mild to medium impaired persons the project is going to research means how to assist and guide people in activities of daily living. A first activity where this will be tested focuses on toileting. DIANA has the unique goal of increasing people?s autonomy and digitizing nursing assistance in this highly challenging area.
