Summary

This 3-phase research plan to employ Behavioral and Environmental Sensing and Intervention (BESI) will overcome the fundamental scientific barriers to realizing prediction of agitation episodes and detection early stages of dementia related agitation. The goal of which is empowering caregivers to intervene early and ultimately reduce agitation, thus reducing caregiver burden and extending aging-in-place and improving the associated quality-of-life and cost benefits.
