| Summary: | Aims: Safe and effective prescribing in people living with dementia (PLWD) is particularly challenging due to the increased risk of adverse events, polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications.

This case study demonstrates how novel contactless monitoring could address these challenges by enabling remote evaluation of drug effects in PLWD. |
