Abstract

We have constructed "AwareRium", an enhanced group home with ubiquitous technology to establish person-centered care. The group home is a facility that provides care for Alzheimer's and dementia patients. The group home is effective in curbing the progress of Alzheimer's dementia. A small number of elderly persons with no relations in need of care, support, or supervision, such as Alzheimer's and dementia patients, can live together in the group home. In this paper, we describe the design concept of AwareRium and the sensing and projection devices installed therein. We present two support systems for position awareness using these devices in AwareRium: a system for finding lost objects and a system for identifying and noticing dangers in order to prevent dangers in the group home.
