“…Frustrations were heightened when care assistants experienced challenging behaviours, especially if the challenging situation could have been prevented by the presence of additional staff. These findings support recent findings relating to staffing in the care environment (Bastiani, Librelotto, Freitas, Pereira, & Brasil, 2013; Verbeek, Zwakhalen, van Rossum, Kempen, & Hamers, 2012). Although participants in this study highlighted the need for increased staff numbers, other participants reported that training and cohesion of staff members were more important for effective dementia care.…”

Care assistants have a unique insight into the lives of service users and those factors which may impede or enhance the delivery of high quality dementia oriented care. To address the paucity of research in this area, the present study examined care assistant experiences of dementia care in British long-term residential and nursing environments. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight care assistants and transcripts were analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Super-ordinate themes emerging from the data were psychological wellbeing of the care assistant, barriers to effective dementia care, the dementia reality and organisational issues within the care environment. The study revealed important deficiencies in understanding and varying levels of dementia training. Whilst person centred strategies were being implemented, task orientated care remained dominant. Furthermore, care assistants reported taking the perspectives of those with dementia into account, and actively using these to develop relationship centred care.

“…Cloud computing is an obvious solution to access this large database from anyplace anytime in pervasive domain. "An approach for pervasive homecare environments focused on care of patients with dementia" [9] uses the ontology OWL [10] for homecare environment in pervasive system to represent the various relationships among domains and knowledge in the database implementing Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) and Semantic Query-Web Enhanced Language [11]. "Ontology for Context-Aware Pervasive Computing Environments" [12] discussed the solution to the limitation of that problem using the architecture of the centralized pervasive context aware distributed system named as Context Broker architecture (CoBrA) which is a collection of different ontology (COBRA-ONT).…”

Part 5: Industrial Management and Other ApplicationsInternational audienceRemote care of patient is now becoming a subject of major concern in healthcare services. Proposed work describes a pervasive system to assist continuously the patients who are at remote place from the connected hospital using a priority based classification and assignment of nurses to the high risk patients. The challenge lies in storage and management of the vast amount of real-time data originating from heterogeneous sources under dynamic situations. This paper attempts to design a new system consisting of several modules for managing real-time heterogeneous data. The overwhelming data could cause difficulty to decide over numerous patients to whom the care should be given first and then onwards. To solve this, the proposed system attempts to derive fuzzy rules to make decision based on priority among selected groups in a dynamic environment. This proposed model formulates an indexed hash key for high risk patients and proper nurse relatively

“…They can be defined as a formal representation of a contextualization. In (Bastiani et al, 2013) we presented an ontology to represent the existing knowledge in homecare environments and an architecture for the development of pervasive systems focused on homecare treatment. These systems could guarantee that the treatment of patients in their houses would have the same quality of those offered in hospitals.…”

Pervasive computing applied to healthcare is seen nowadays as an alternative to the overcrowding in hospitals. The implementation proactive applications improve the services offered, helping to speed the treatment of patients. We present in this paper a workflow process model to be used for the development of pervasive systems to homecare. It represents the management of the ontologies used by the systems. We describe the processes that compose the workflow, showing a case study to validate it.
