Innovate Dementia Over licht en dementie Elke den Ouden en Rens Brankaert 31 Oktober i3b, Wageningen

Mensen met Dementie

Mensen met Dementie Momenteel 256000 mensen die leven met dementie. Verdubbeling in komende 30 jaar. 87% van de mantelzorgers komt weer terug in het zorg stelsel na zorg te hebben verleend aan mensen met dementie.

Mensen met Dementie

Addressing the Societal Challenge De vergrijzing is een groot probleem voor NWE (Noord West Europa) en een prioriteit voor de EU. Dementie is de meest voorkomende psychogeriatrische aandoening. Het is een onomkeerbare progressieve ziekte waarvan ongeveer 70% Alzheimer. 60 % van alle zorg voor mensen met dementie wordt door de informele zorg gegeven (Alzheimer Nederland, 2008). Een antwoord bieden aan deze maatschappelijke uitdaging moet door middel van innovaties en samenwerkingen.

Living Lab Innovate Dementia

Interreg IVB project Innovate Dementia Innovate Dementia Eindhoven (Netherlands): Brainport Development N.V. Gemeente Eindhoven Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg Eindhoven (GgzE) Liverpool (UK): Mersey Care NHS Trust Liverpool John Moores University Leuven (Belgium): Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, K.U.Leuven R&D Krefelt (Germany): Alexianer Forschungszentrum Krefeld

Intelligent Lighting solutions Elke regio heeft zijn eigen focus gebied Gedurende het project worden ervaringen, middelen en innovaties uitgewisseld tussen de regios om zo een breed internationaal living lab op te zetten. Intelligent Lighting Nutrition and exercise, Living environment with social and aesthetic conditions Models of assistance for persons with dementia and their carers

Example of Lighting Solution nightly unrest and daytime sleepiness can be reduced by light therapy cognitive performance loss reduced with 5%

Complexiteit van innoveren in de zorg

CASE: Evaluatie van de vitaallicht Hoe kunnen we een methode ontwikkelen waarmee we het eerste persoons perspectief van mensen met dementie kunnen gebruiken voor de evaluatie van de vitaallicht lamp in de living lab context?

CASE: Methode Aangenaam Probe game for informal caregiver and dementia patient Question cards in four categories Three answer options: Notebook, Audio recorder, Photo camera 3-4 question cards per day

CASE: Evaluatie van de vitaallicht

CASE: studie opzet

CASE: Resultaten deel I Sports are not really important to me, I stay in shape by doing all sorts of things throughout the day. Cleaning the house, walking the stairs and going for a walk are tiresome. It takes a lot of energy for me. I do not need money for luxury. I am happy with what I got. These days, my hands do not know how I make use of a telephone. My wife helps me out. I usually made a stained glass artwork in a couple of weeks. Nowadays it takes me a year and half. That s why I do not enjoy it anymore.

CASE: Resultaten deel I The question is raised when such a lamp really works. Now the lamp was just a handy tool We are from a generation of people who live frugal, so it is unnecessary to turn on a light during the day. People who get headaches from the lamp, might try using sunglasses or a sunshade. The Vitaallicht lamp does not fit our home environment. It is too big and clunky!

CASE: Resultaten, deel II

CASE: Resultaten, deel II Part 1 Life of the participants Individuals with their own needs, abilities and interests Do not need more luxury, a bit reluctant towards new technology Problems with forgetting most apparent Vitality Not many problems Tiredness during day and low on the measures of sleep quality Light and Vitaallichtlamp No experienced effects, some people like functionality Looks are important for acceptance Headaches

CASE: Resultaten, slaap kwaliteit
