Atlantic Technological University (ATU) and residential care group Riada Care Ltd. have unveiled an innovative new project that uses Virtual Reality (VR) technology to enhance the quality of life for elderly residents. Supported by the Data2Sustain European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH), the initiative introduces 360° VR videos to convalescent care homes, offering residents immersive experiences that rekindle outdoor memories and foster deeper emotional connections. The program allows family members, carers, and staff to create personalised 360° videos, which residents can enjoy using Meta Quest 3 VR headsets. These immersive experiences bring cherished moments to life, such as walking along Donegal beaches, revisiting family farms, or exploring local landmarks. "Over a 12-week pilot, we introduced 360° immersive videos to residents at our Hillcrest and Archview care homes in Letterkenny, designed to evoke nostalgia and bring joy to the residents," said Luke Gavigan, Director of Riada Care Ltd. "This initiative combines two key elements: creating immersive content that brings cherished outdoor experiences into the facility and empowering staff and family members with the tools and training to create personalised VR content for their loved ones." Project Lead Dr. William Farrelly of WiSAR Lab, ATU Donegal, part of the Data2Sustain network, explained the transformative potential of this collaboration: "This project demonstrates how technology can foster connection and joy among residents who may otherwise feel isolated. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from the initial trials highlights the transformative potential of VR in elder care." Residents participating in the pilot reported significant emotional uplift, enhanced engagement, and reduced feelings of isolation. To ensure the program's sustainability, the team has developed a comprehensive training program with instructional videos helping guide carers and family members in creating and editing 360° video content. Care home staff have also been equipped with Meta Quest 3 VR headsets, Insta360 cameras, and editing software, enabling them to continually expand the VR content library. Dr. Stephen Seawright, Technology Gateway Manager at ATU Donegal, emphasised the importance of collaboration in the project's success: "The project exemplifies a successful collaboration between academia, healthcare providers, and funding bodies like Data2Sustain EDIH. It underscores the potential of emerging technologies to address complex challenges in healthcare and improve quality of life for many." Looking ahead, the team plans to expand the technology to additional Riada Care facilities across Ireland, conduct further research into its long-term benefits, and explore new applications of VR, including guided relaxation and physical therapy. "Immersive technologies have the potential to transform physical and psychological outcomes in social care settings," said Dr. Farrelly. "By integrating this technology into everyday care, we're enriching residents' lives while also empowering carers to offer innovative, personalised support."

As the global population ages, the demand for innovative solutions to support the health and well-being of older adults has intensified. Among the myriad of challenges faced by this demographic, cognitive decline stands out as a pressing concern. With conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia affecting millions, the need for effective monitoring and early intervention has never been more critical. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) from AITCare has emerged as a powerful tool, particularly in the realm of sleep monitoring, offering a promising avenue for enhancing elderly care.Understanding the Importance of Sleep in Cognitive HealthSleep plays a vital role in overall health, particularly for older adults. Research has shown that sleep-wake disorders can be early indicators of cognitive decline. Conditions such as insomnia, hypersomnia, and sleep apnea not only disrupt rest but can also exacerbate cognitive issues. As older adults often experience changes in sleep patterns, monitoring these variations can provide crucial insights into their cognitive health. By identifying sleep disturbances early, caregivers can implement preventive measures that may mitigate the progression of cognitive decline.The Role of AI in Sleep MonitoringThe integration of AI into sleep monitoring systems represents a significant advancement in elderly care. AITCare is focused on using AI to develop non-invasive monitoring systems tailored for older adults. This system employs a combination of sensors, including motion detectors, thermometers, and RGB cameras, to continuously monitor sleep patterns without requiring direct interaction from the user. This is particularly beneficial for older adults who may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with complex technology.The AI model developed by AITCare is designed to analyze 51 data points on the body, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of an individual's sleep behavior. This model is capable of detecting minute movements and changes in body position, which are critical for assessing sleep quality. For instance, it can identify if a person is sleeping on their side, which may impact blood circulation, or if they are experiencing restlessness throughout the night. By creating a detailed profile of an individual's sleep patterns over a week, the system can tailor its analysis to account for the unique characteristics of each user.Addressing Privacy ConcernsOne of the challenges associated with deploying monitoring technology in the homes of older adults is the concern over privacy. Many elderly individuals may be apprehensive about having cameras or sensors in their living spaces. AITCare has taken steps to address these concerns by ensuring that the installation of cameras is unobtrusive and that the data collected is used solely for the purpose of monitoring health. By placing cameras in ceilings and utilizing non-invasive technology, the system respects the privacy of users while still providing essential health insights.The Future of Elderly CareAs this AI-driven sleep monitoring technology progresses through pilot stages and moves toward wider implementation, it holds the potential to revolutionize elderly care. With approximately 20 million individuals aged 80 and above in the United States alone, the impact of such innovations could be profound. By providing caregivers with real-time data on sleep patterns and potential cognitive decline, these systems empower families and healthcare providers to make informed decisions about care and intervention.Conclusion: Using AI to Improve Elder HealthIn conclusion, the application of AI from AITCare in monitoring sleep for elderly care represents a significant leap forward in addressing the challenges of cognitive decline. By harnessing the power of technology to provide non-invasive, continuous monitoring, we can enhance the quality of life for older adults and support their caregivers in delivering effective care. As we continue to explore the intersection of technology and healthcare, the potential for AI to transform elderly care remains vast and promising.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

09/15/24The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E22 - Caring Beyond Cure - Exploring Hospice CareA birth is something that is often prepared for and certainly talked about without reservation, but conversations about death and dying can be difficult and something many of us would like to avoid whenever possible.  Although that's understandable, these conversations around end-of-life are likely among the most important ones we can have with those we love and our healthcare providers.Hospice might be one of the most misconceived subjects in modern healthcare, and is, in fact, something that can be a liberating and even joyful experience for the individual and their loved ones.  It not only involves the doctors and nurses who give the necessary medical treatments, but also social workers, spiritual caregivers, and complimentary therapists from various specialties including massage and music.  On the next episode of our show, we'll be joined by Dr. Mariam Anwar, MBBS, who will help us get a better understanding of hospice, what it entails, and the positive role it can play in end-of-life experiences for patients and their loved ones.  Death and dying is a weighty subject that all of us will need to address at some point in our lives, and we hope this episode sheds light on helpful ways this can be approached with grace, dignity, and compassion.  We hope you'll join us.For further learning:National Hospice and Palliative Care OrganizationEcumen HospiceMayo Clinic - Hospice OverviewGot a question for the doc or a comment on the show?Email - healthymatters@hcmed.orgCall - 612-873-TALK (8255)Keep an eye out for upcoming shows on social media!Find out more at www.healthymatters.org
