Abstract

We investigate the combination of a drinking gadget with Serious Games, designed to entice elderly/dementia patients to drink more water - with potential benefit for both, the elderlies and their caregivers. We present several strategies that are essential towards developing a Combined Evaluation Process needed to determine user acceptance. We report on a pilot study conducted in a retirement home with dementia patients. The goal was to gain first insights regarding the acceptance of such a technology from the viewpoint of the elderly and their caregivers.
