QuoVadis Networked living in the quarter with dementia
Goal
Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are among the heaviest live restricting diseases, with increasing numbers of cases. While patients and relatives cannot avoid searching for daily support at an advanced state of dementia, patients in the earlier states of the diseases are often still able to master most of their daily living on their own. For this purpose, new forms of living such as dementia shared apartments have been created in the last couple of years.
In order to enable dementia patients to live on their own, in their own apartment, the project “QuoVadis” aims at adapting services and technologies that are in use today for dementia shared apartments to individual apartments, and to deploy these in residential quarter apartments. Residential quarters enable independent living but additionally offer an optimized safety and support concept. In order to better support the needs of dementia patients, apartments in two quarters, in the city of Oldenburg and in the rural area of Wesermarsch, will be equipped with technology that safeguards patient care and safety and is optimally integrated into the existing structures of the residential quarters. The acquired data are transmitted to the quarter manager, who receives information about the inhabitants using a centralized user interface.
