本文报告了痴呆症患者智能家居解决方案的用户需求分析、设计和评估。为了适合痴呆症患者，智能家居技术应该将与用户的交互保持在最低限度。在本文介绍的工作中，与护理人员的讨论，以及更正式的用户调查，提供了一个很好的理解，这组所面临的问题，和潜在的设计解决方案的有用的迹象。这项初步调查工作导致了一种设计方法，使用照顾者模仿，熟悉的外观，纳入口头提示和提醒，并仔细的用户监控，以实现有效的设备。通过几个具体设计的例子来说明这种设计方法。独立系统的评估是在智能家居安装之前进行的，并说明了辅助技术和痴呆症患者之间存在的复杂界面。
This paper reports on the user requirements analysis, design and evaluation of smart home solutions for people with dementia. In order to be appropriate for people with dementia, smart home technologies should keep interaction with users to a minimum. In the work presented in this paper, discussions with carers, as well as a more formal user-survey, provided a good understanding of the issues that are faced by this group, and useful indications of potential design solutions. This preliminary survey work led to a design approach that used carer emulation, familiarity of appearance, incorporation of verbal prompts and reminders, and careful user-monitoring, to achieve effective devices. This design approach is illustrated through several examples of specific designs. Evaluations of stand-alone systems were carried out prior to smart home installation, and illustrated the complex interface that exists between assistive technology and people with dementia.
