Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.

Background: Sundowning is the development or progression of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) often occurring in the afternoon or early evening. Noninvasive ambient sensors (NAS) monitor individuals without the need to wear a device or use a camera. The data from NAS sensors can identify movement patterns in the context of cyclomatic complexity to indicate when an individual may be sundowning.

Status of mobile computing in health care: an evidence study.

Information technology (IT) has played an impacting role in helping healthcare professionals increasingly recognize the value of IT in clinical medicine, disease management, treatment strategies and other related areas. Of the numerous IT applications currently pursued, the use of telemedicine is a major force in addressing the healthcare delivery issues. As evidenced by a number of studies, telemedicine has come to play a significant mode of delivery and treatment, especially in the remote rural areas.
