Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to find Wireless IoT Applications to help the Dementia patients to be more independent and improving the quality of life. Also, reduce the loading of the care taker. This research is based on 3 research questions: RQ1: I like to find out what kind of safety related issues that a person who suffers from Dementia will encounter in their daily life. RQ2: I like to explore what are the existing wireless technologies that applied in Health Care IoT Applications nowadays. RQ3: I like to map the IoT Applications that can be applied to help the elderly who suffer from Dementia. The Applications that can help them to be more independent, safer in their daily life, and keep them in connect with the people who care for them. The research result is Dementia suffers daily security issues were identified from interviews. The possible Wireless IoT Applications were found from literature review. The finding were mapped out in between the daily security issues with Wireless IoT Application.
