Using E-textiles to Monitor Sleep and Walking Performance in People with Dementia

We are currently conducting a research study at Ontario Tech University to validate the use of e-textiles in monitoring and improving sleep and walking performance in people living with dementia. 

Participants Needed! 

We are currently looking for older adults with mild-to-moerate dementia to take part in a 6-week study. You will receive a $75 gift card at study completion.

  • You have a caregiver to provide informed consent on your behalf 
  • You live in Oshawa or the surrounding area 
  • You can walk independently (with or without an assistive device)
