Clip & Go
September 2015 - August 2016 (bachelor, year 1 project)
Home navigation for seniors with early-stage dementia
A shoe clip for seniors with early-stage dementia which helps the senior navigate home using vibration. The clip is activated when the person leaves the area that was set around the home using geofencing. Furthermore, the clip is activated when a person has been outside for a long period of time. The underlying hypothesis is that vibration on the right of left foot triggers the senior to make a turn in that direction. However, this hypothesis has not been evaluated during this course.
