Outline
¨ Experience ¨ European Innovation Partnership on Active &
Healthy Ageing ¨ Ambition
My experience in national and international collaborative research
Experience
¨ Develop and evaluate a user-validated remotely configurable cognitive prosthetic device with associated services for people with mild dementia
¨ Helping people navigate their day: ¤ Reminding function ¤ Activity support ¤ Activity assistance ¤ Safety warnings
Mulvenna, M.D., Nugent, C.D. (Eds.), Supporting People with Dementia Using Pervasive Health Technologies, Series: Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing, 2010, 238 pages, Springer
Next Generation Services
¨ Health & Wellbeing Benefits: ¤ Prolonged independent living ¤ Increased physical and psychological health and
wellbeing ¤ Improved motivation and self-management of health ¤ Increased sense of wellbeing and security ¤ More efficient, cost-effective, and targeted delivery of
services ¤ More accessible communication systems

¨ Provide therapeutic support and guidance to this group of people during the hours of darkness ¤ Investigate the needs of people with dementia at night
time ¤ Research new technologically-based therapeutic
interventions capabilities ¤ Sleep measurements variables: quantity of sleep,
quality of sleep, rhythm of sleep

¨ Investigating the unmet needs of older people living in the local community (in a variety of living accommodation), by talking with older people in order to prioritise problems, seeking the best available evidence to meet needs, and working with people to implement and evaluate the evidence in practice.

¨ Significant technical complexity ¨ Getting results outside lab is still
difficult ¨ Integration of technologies is
troublesome ¨ Consistency of results difficult to
achieve ¨ Need for person-centred approach ¨ Participants like being part of process

¨ New products and services developed through participatory research with older people and triple-helix partners in Northern Ireland, Norway, and Sweden
¨ The products and services focus on mobile safety alarms, prescribed self treatment and mobile-based social networks.
