AbstractPersons living with dementia (PLWD) often have demanding needs, placing burden on healthcare systems and care partners (GBD, 2019). Smart supportive technology is emerging as a solution to improve PLWD’s quality of life/wellbeing, increasing interest in ambient assisted living (Gettel, 2021). However, there is limited research surrounding the customization of systems to each user’s needs, which may lead to higher rates of acceptance (Fares, 2021). This case study explores the personalization of a smart technology system adapted to a hospital setting.Keywords: smart technology, aging in place, ambient assisted technology, staff satisfaction
