Description & Coverage
Description:

The prominence of dementia within the global aging population has undergone an increase in recent years. To improve the living conditions of patients, researchers must place more emphasis on early detection methods.

Improving the Quality of Life for Dementia Patients through Progressive Detection, Treatment, and Care provides a thorough overview of emerging research on various neuroscience methods for the early diagnosis of dementia and focuses on the improvement of healthcare delivery to patients. Highlighting relevant issues on health information systems, behavioral indicators, and treatment methods, this book is a pivotal reference source for health professionals, neuroscientists, upper-level students, practitioners, and researchers interested in the latest developments within the field of dementia treatment.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Cognitive Training
  • Emotional Stability
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Nutritional Status
  • Stimulation Devices
  • Unobtrusive vs. Obtrusive Detection
Reviews & Statements

This volume contains 14 articles by engineers, physicians, health professionals, neuroscientists, and informatics and computer scientists from Asia and Europe, who discuss ways to improve the quality of life of dementia patients through detection, treatment, and care. They address early diagnosis and detection, environmental landscape design, nutrition, the role of bilingualism in delaying dementia, tactile stimulation devices, training tasks to enhance cognitive functions, and understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms in interactions between touch and emotion, as well as research on the effects of visual contrast on inverse effectiveness in audiovisual integration, intention recognition in human-computer interaction, time cognition, the visual system, and humanoid robots and mind control humanoid robots.
