Abstract
Bedside patient infotainment touch screens provide access to a range of information, communication and entertainment services. This paper explores pertinent design and implementation considerations when introducing such infotainment terminals in nursing homes. Given the high prevalence of dementia in nursing home populations, special importance is placed on the needs and requirements of persons with dementia. In the paper, findings from an evaluation of the introduction of an infotainment system in two nursing homes is presented, discussed and contrasted with literature on dementia-friendly design of ICT.
