Sara Connect 與 HUME 使用情況與統計

People with dementia or mental disability are often not capable of expressing their emotional feelings and related unmet needs. Their communication skills are typically limited because of their mental disability or communication skills have been degraded in time. This leaves these vulnerable people often misunderstood and therefore not adequately treated and helped. An objective determination of stress or mental unbalance of these vulnerable people will provide improved quality of life and happiness, and will lead to reduced costs of care. Better understanding of the emotions of people with communication restrictions will strengthen the trust relation between the client and the caregiver, will increase happiness and quality of life and it will lead to better care. To address this societal problem, Mentech developed the emotion detection system HUME. This system is based on the detection of physiological parameters, such as heart rate, activity, skin conductance.
