Abstract
Providing good care to people with dementia at home is becoming an important issue as the size of the elderly population increases. One of the main problems in providing such care is that it must be constantly provided without interruption, and this places a great burden on caregivers who are often family members. Networked Interaction Therapy is what we call the methods designed to relieve the stress of people suffering from dementia as well as that of their family members. This therapy aims to provide a system that interacts with people with dementia by utilizing various engaging stimuli. One such stimulus is a reminiscence video created from old photo albums, which is a promising way to hold a person’s attention for a long time. In this paper, we first present an authoring tool to assist in the production of a reminiscence video and then discuss the effectiveness of presenting such a video to people with dementia.
