Wrist sensor could warn of dementia outbursts before they happen
NCT ID NCT02617056
Summary
This study tested if a simple wrist sensor could detect early signs of agitation in people with dementia. Researchers monitored the skin's electrical activity in 21 patients to see if it changed before disruptive outbursts occurred. The goal was to find a warning signal that could allow caregivers to intervene early, potentially helping patients live at home longer.
