Remote monitoring dementia - Coggle Diagram
Remote monitoring dementia
Sedentary behaviour
Theory
Sedentary time is bad for brain blood flow, independent of physical activity (Zlatar et al., 2019)
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exger.2019.110679
but not related to executive function
How to measure
Accelerometer
Time in REM sleep
Theory
After controlling for sex and age, lower REM sleep percentage and longer REM sleep latency were associated with a higher risk of dementia doi: 10.1212/WNL.0000000000004373
How to measure
Sleep mat: periods of no movement in bed.
Could be validated with an EEG study
Fall detection: Stairs
How to measure
PIR sensor both sides of the stairs
Climbing stairs is effortful, may be a useful way of quantifying loss of strength/confidence
If PIR sensor is triggered rapidly this may be indicative of a fall
A decrease in speed/frequency of using the stairs may provide useful information for people when to rearrange the house to avoid stairs
Heatstroke
How to measure
ambient temperature from
