Do you worry about the frustrating behavior of your loved one with dementia?

They may be displaying signs of agitation and we want to hear from you

In this study we aim to

Test software that takes automatic measurements to identify agitation

Seek your feedback on whether the devices are comfortable and easy to use

Collect information about the symptom of agitation in patients with dementia

How does this work?

The study period is 28 days
During this time we ask caregivers to:
- Provide daily feedback about any agitation episodes
- Remove the smartwatch from the patient at night and set the devices on a charging stand
- Help the patient put on the smartwatch and carry the smartphone in the morning

During this time we ask patients to:
- Wear a smartwatch and carry a smartphone during their waking hours every day
For the duration of the study we will provide you with:
- The study devices (a smartwatch and a smartphone)
- Training to use the devices and assistance for any questions or issues during the study

Who’s eligible?
