Am- bient Assisted Living (AAL) technologies are seen as one of the solutions to tackle a variety of problems posed by dementia. In this thesis, the ethical challenges and oppor- tunities of AAL technologies for Persons with Dementia (PwDs) are identified through a systematic literature review. The three most prominent ethical issues are informed consent, special vulnerability of PwDs, and the value of the goals of AAL technologies. These key issues are comprehensively analysed in dedicated normative chapters as they arise during research & development (R&D) and clinical application of AAL technolo- gies for PwDs. The analysis is performed using a methodological framework based on the principles of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (2005) developed by UNESCO. Each normative chapter concludes with a set of recommendations for the effective management of the ethical issues. xv 1 INTRODUCTION In this introductory chapter, the research objectives of this dissertation are presented, to- gether with the methodology describing how these research objectives are met, followed by a section about the relevance of the research topic, and the outline of this thesis. 1.1 research objectives The intention of this research is to contribute to the responsible development, clinical research, and application of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) technologies for Persons with Dementia (PwDs).

  • The Tangled Story of Alois Alzheimer
    Bratisl Lek Listy 2006; 107 (910): 343345 343 TOPICAL REVIEW The tangled story of Alois Alzheimer Zilka N, Novak M Institute of Neuroimmunology, AD Centre of Excellence, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia. [email protected] Abstract In 1907, Bavarian psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer, who is considered to be a founding father of neuropa- thology, was first to describe the main neuropathologic characteristics of the peculiar disease in the brain of a woman showing progressive dementia when she was in her early 50s. Using a newly deve- loped Bielschowskys silver staining method, Alzheimer observed degenerating neurons with bundles of fibrils (neurofibrillary tangles) and miliary foci of silver-staining deposits scattered over the cortex (senile plaques). In 1910 Emil Kraepelin (Alois Alzheimers superior) coined the term Alzheimers disease to distinguish the presenile form of dementia from the more common senile variant. Alzheimers findings were followed up, and soon a number of reports of similar cases appeared in the literature. During the time, both pathological hallmarks of Alzheimers disease became the gold standard for post-mortem diagnosis of the disease. One hundred years later, dementia of Alzheimers type is con- sidered to be one of the most devastating illnesses of old age. Despite intensive research the cause of the disease still remains elusive (Fig. 2, Ref. 17). Key words: Alzheimers disease, Alois Alzheimer, Augusta D, neurofibrillary tangles, senile plaques. Alois Alzheimer was born in June 14, 1864 in Markbreit am pathology of the nervous system, studying in particular the nor- Main in Southern Germany. He commenced the study of medi- mal and pathological anatomy of the cerebral cortex.

Pour mieux en saisir la portée, chaque étape dans les découvertes est replacée dans le contexte théorique de pensée qui les a présidées et en fonction des méthodes et des techniques d’exploration alors en usage. partir de quel moment de l’Histoire, le cerveau a-t-il suscité l’intérêt de l’Homme ? Quand est-il devenu un sujet d’étude scientifique ? Il est bien Àsûr impossible de répondre avec précision à de telles questions, dans la mesure où nous ne disposons que de fort peu de données fiables surtout pour les temps les plus reculés.
