Description:
The aim of the project is to improve the sleep of residents with cognitive impairments (e.g. dementia) at nursing homes in a cross Nordic collaboration. The objectives are - to adjust an existing sensor to monitoring residents' sleep and provide an alarm that complies safety requirements and personal data, - to get a tool that objectively can evaluate efforts to improve residents' sleep and circadian rhythm, - to support systematic professionalism and interdisciplinary collaboration with the residents in focus
Overview:
A plausible solution is aimed for a large scale sleep monitoring of citizens , to improve the sleep of residents with cognitive impairments (e.g. dementia) at nursing homes
Objectives:
Clinical Objectives. a) to monitor residents' sleep and alarm when needed, c) to evaluate efforts to improve residents' sleep and circadian rhythm. Technical objectives: software tool development, and hardware / sensor adaptations
Initiatives:
Implementation and scaling up can have a high impact
Shortcomings:
Lack of material about the progress and results of this project
Relevance:

Relevance Description:
Supporting sleep is important in patients with cognitive impairment, as well as in preventing it. It links to supporting mental health in the ageing population.
Quality:
