Part Two

On July 23, 2020, the focus will be on "Body-based sensor technology for the care of dementia patients".

Dementia patients require special attention because they often cannot correctly assess and articulate their own state of health due to their illness. Sensors can help to record vital parameters and symptoms of illness around the clock and warn caregivers in good time of critical situations. However, since many patients find these devices on their bodies uncomfortable or even feel threatened, new ways must be found to record the relevant data.

The presentations in this part of the COMPAMED Innovation Forum will show the technical possibilities and developments of sensors "hidden" in clothing or bandages, e.g. for monitoring fluid absorption, for observing wound healing processes, or for gait analysis. The programme will be introduced by Marita Neumann, head of the Haus Berge facility, with an overview of the tasks as well as the needs and requirements for technical solutions of a dementia facility.

In the ensuing discussion, nurses and physicians will discuss the need and necessity for technical solutions with the technology developers and providers together with the forum participants. Click here for the program.
