A house on a Gloucester development has been made available by Housing 21 and some devices have already
                            been installed. A pilot study has been completed which explored the development of smart house technology for
                            people with dementia. This project builds on the pilot work by developing new devices and systems for the house
                            that aim to solve the problems identitied by the user survey. The problem areas to be tackled include safety
                            related tasks such as the use of the cooker, reminder devices for problems such as taking medication and support
                            systems such as a cookery assistant. All these devices will be designed to emulate the solutions that live-in carers
                            have found to work with the people they are caring for. The project will also look at the more generic problem of
