A Proactive Health Monitoring Intervention for Dementia Caregivers

The home-based sensor technology of eNeighbor relies on multiple, non-invasive and safe remote monitors (up to 6 sensors) that can alert family caregivers and/or health professionals to potentially negative situations that lead to adverse outcomes (e.g., wandering, falls, incomplete activity of daily living tasks). The technology platform of eNeighbor relies on wireless infrastructure that allows for remote monitoring via alerts that are communicated to the family caregiver's or nurse care manager's personal computers or handheld devices. The Alerts that are generated from the sensors detected abnormal motion or activity are sent to the family caregiver as well as a nurse care manager that monitors the real-time information generated by the eNeighbor sensors.
