caregivers

• More than 5 million Americans are

living with Alzheimer’s

• In 2013, 15.5 mn caregivers were

unpaid and mostly family members

• 60% of the caregivers report severe

emotional stress and often depression

Need to disrupt conventional caregiving

Smart homes and automated

prompting for daily activities can

reduce caregiver burden

• Study with 400 human participants who

performed 8 activities of daily living in

an on-campus smart home under

naturalistic conditions

• Sensor data annotated for activities and

errors (potential prompt situations)
