Cell Phone Video Streaming in Alzheimer's Disease
Submitted: April, 2010
Remaining at home as long as possible can be personally, socially and economically beneficial for many people with dementia and their families. Innovative schemes using assistive home technologies may reduce isolation and improve functioning for these individuals. Such technologies may ease the demands on caregivers and help people who might otherwise need to consider institutional care. David Craig, M.D., and colleagues have developed a protocol for the novel use of cell phone technology to increase communication between individuals with Alzheimer's disease and their remote caregivers.

Submitted: April, 2010
Our research centers on the use of multi-point videoconferencing, using small set-top boxes (the DocBox) which are placed in patient's homes. These units, about the size of a paperback book, connect to a home television and to a broadband internet connection. Our videoconferencing unit requires little or no interaction from the patient, and is controlled centrally by the health care or wellness provider.
