ICT4AWE 2016 received 39 paper submissions from 22 countries, of which 21% are included in this book. The papers were selected by the event chairs and their selection is based on a number of criteria including the classifications and comments providedbytheProgramCommitteemembers,thesessionchairs’assessment,andalso the program chairs’ global view of all papers included in the technical program. The authors of selected papers were then invited to submit a revised and extended version of their papers having at least 30% innovative material. TheInternationalConferenceonInformationandCommunicationTechnologiesfor Ageing Well and e-Health aims to be a meeting point for those that study and apply information and communication technologies for improving the quality of life of the elderlyandforhelpingpeoplestayhealthy,independent,andactiveatworkorintheir community during the course of their life.

The reduction of public expenditure and investments in health care provisioning calls for new, sustainable models to transform the increasing aging population and dementia-related diseases incidence from global challenges into new opportunities. In this context, Informa- tionandCommunicationTechnologiesplayavitalrole,tobothpromote aging in place and home management of Patients with Dementia, and to provide new tools and solutions to facilitate the working conditions of the care staff in nursing homes, which remain an essential facility when cognitive-impaired patients cannot live at home anymore. Night staff in nursing homes are a vulnerable group, receiving less supervision and support than day staff, but with high levels of responsibility. Addi- tionally, nighttime attendance of patients affected by dementia may be difficult, because of their incremented neuropsychiatric symptoms. This paperdescribesanintegratedsystemforthenightmonitoringofpatients withdementiainnursinghomes,basedonaproductoriginallyconceived fordomesticuse,butre-designedtoprovidesupporttonurses,bymeans of a set of sensors located in each patient’s room, and suitable software applicationstodetectdangerouseventsandraiseautomaticalertsdeliv- ered to the nurses through mobile devices. The results obtained from the first experimental installation of the monitoring system proved the effectivenessoftheproposedsolutiontosupportnursesduringthenight supervision of patients, and suggested suitable modifications and addi- tional features to increase the nurses’ compliance. · · Keywords: Environmentalsensors Unobtrusivemonitoring Activity · · detection Alarm notification Behavioral analysis 1 Introduction It is widely recognized that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have the potential to dramatically impact social and welfare systems in (cid:2)c SpringerInternationalPublishingAG2017 C.R¨ockeretal.(Eds.):ICT4AWE2016,CCIS736,pp.1–19,2017.
