Abstract

This paper discusses an opportunity for using modalities to support the monitoring of emotional wellbeing of older people. The ageing population is escalating and is associated with an increase in the number of persons with dementia. It is also reported that older people can suffer from social isolation and that people with dementia can experience a range of negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. We present a model to care for a person’s emotional wellbeing in the home using multiple-modalities such as video, audio, electrodermal activity and photoplethysmography.
