Abstract

With this contribution we want to give insights into the development of a drinking gadget which is useable by the elderly and dementia patients with the goal to create an automated drinking protocol. Through the literature and available smart cups, we deduced important strategies for the design of a drinking aid. Our natural solution is integrated into the daily workflow, hence enables the caregivers to react to the needs of the elderly without additional burden. Therefore, we identified some key requirements for both user groups. Furthermore, we integrated aspects of expandability with software, a vision of rich interaction between user/gadget and focused on the convenience during the daily usage to reach the elderly and caregivers alike.
