Hello all,
My name is Georgiana, I am a computer scientist and, together with a bright neurologist from UCLH, I'm am investigating the possibility of creating a system that automatically analyses CCTV footage in order to identify cognitive decline, fall risks or dangerous behaviours in people that suffer from dementia.
CCTVs in homes are very controversial, but would a smart system that notifies carers or family about suspicious behaviours be useful? This could be as simple as forgetting the front door open or leaving the house without notifying the carer, or more complex, such as detecting physical and mental decline, or even predict patient vulnerability which leads to falls.
I would be interested to know more about your views on such a monitoring system. Would it be of any use? Do you already use something like this? Any input would help, really.
