87% van de
mantelzorgers komt
weer terug in het zorg
stelsel na zorg te
hebben verleend aan
mensen met dementie.
Momenteel 256000
mensen die leven met
dementie. Verdubbeling
in komende 30 jaar.

Addressing the Societal Challenge
• De vergrijzing is een groot probleem voor NWE (Noord
West Europa) en een prioriteit voor de EU.
• Dementie is de meest voorkomende psychogeriatrische
aandoening. Het is een onomkeerbare progressieve
ziekte waarvan ongeveer 70% Alzheimer.
• 60 % van alle zorg voor mensen met dementie wordt door
de informele zorg gegeven (Alzheimer Nederland, 2008).
• Een antwoord bieden aan deze maatschappelijke
uitdaging moet door middel van innovaties en
samenwerkingen.

CASE: Evaluatie van de vitaallicht
Hoe kunnen we een methode ontwikkelen waarmee we het
eerste persoons perspectief van mensen met dementie
kunnen gebruiken voor de evaluatie van de vitaallicht lamp in
de living lab context?
Intelligent Lighting Institute
CASE: Methode “Aangenaam”
Probe game for informal caregiver and dementia patient
Question cards in four categories
Three answer options: Notebook, Audio recorder, Photo camera
3-4 question cards per day

CASE: Resultaten deel I
“I usually made a stained glass artwork in a couple of
weeks. Nowadays it takes me a year and half. That’s
why I do not enjoy it anymore.”
“These days, my hands do not know how
I make use of a telephone. My wife helps
me out.”
“I do not need money for luxury. I am
happy with what I got.”
“Sports are not really important to
me, I stay in shape by doing all
sorts of things throughout the day.“
“Cleaning the house, walking the
stairs and going for a walk are
tiresome. It takes a lot of energy
for me.”
Intelligent Lighting Institute
CASE: Resultaten deel I
“We are from a generation of
people who live frugal, so it is
unnecessary to turn on a light
during the day.”
“The question is raised when such a lamp really
‘works’. Now the lamp was just a handy tool“
“The Vitaallicht lamp does not fit our
home environment. It is too big and
clunky!”
“People who get headaches from the
lamp, might try using sunglasses or a
sunshade.”
