Abstract

There is increasing interest in the development of ambient assisted living services to increase the quality of life of the increasing older population. Little consideration has been given to the specific problem of providing such services and systems at night. We report on the NOCTURNAL project which provides specialised night time support to people at early stages of dementia.
