BESI (Unreleased)

Behavioral and Environmental Sensing and Intervention (BESI) is an application designed for the caregivers who are providing care for persons with dementia (PWD). Caregivers will use this application to keep track of their daily activities and daily feelings regarding their Caregiving practices. They also keep track agitation level, depression level, sleep quality and any other relevant information they monitored regarding the PWD. The application will also be used to provide real time notification to caregivers about the state of PWD. For instance, if the person is starting to agitate and located in a separate room or different location from his\her caregiver, the caregiver will receive a notification. The application will be installed in a slate-type device such as Samsung Galaxy tablet or an iPad.
