Simple and reliable activation
The player activates automatically and reliably as soon as the person shows signs of waking up.
Short description of the invention
The sensors of the wake-up aid are attached to the patient's bed and record relevant physiological parameters such as heart rate variability (HRV) and the ECG (electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of the heart.
This automatically activates a playback device immediately after a person with dementia wakes up. This playback device is used for activation and memory care after awakening and sends acoustic or also visual signals and messages that enable the person affected to remember information that is already known and familiar.
In this way, the orientation aid can also go hand in hand with fall prevention by shortening the phase of disorientation after awakening. The person can collect him/herself before trying to get up.
The playback of visual or audiovisual information can be done by an integrated display or by an external display, e.g. a conventional smartphone, a PC or a tablet PC. However, a television set can also be connected.
The player activates automatically and reliably as soon as the person shows signs of waking up.
The method works contactless and without sensors being firmly connected to the person. No cumbersome electrode arrangement on the patient's head and no great equipment effort are necessary.
The wake-up detector automatically conveys certain individually selectable and storable information with a personal reference. These are familiar to the person and are intended to activate the memory, such as the person's own name, the names of the persons caring for them or those of their own children. Information on the current whereabouts or orientation aids such as the way to the toilet can also clearly help the patient.
Easier to install and less expensive than complex alternative methods; Concrete activation effects are shown in contrast to conventional emergency call systems and dementia location systems.
The number of dementia cases and thus the target group for the dementia training tool is increasing: The number of affected persons will increase in Germany alone. The reason for this is demographic developments and approximately 3 million affected persons are expected by 2050.
