Sensor‐based activity and state recognition in dementia patients in stationary care as basis for situation‐aware assistive devices
Abstract Background Wearable sensors to monitor activity are easily available nowadays. Intelligent assistive technologies bear potential to offer innovative solutions that increase safety and facilitate independent activities in persons with dementia (PwD). It is important to incorporate knowledge...
