Symptoms such as agitation and depression increase the risk of secondary problems like fractures and falls, which can seriously impair patients’ quality of life. In addition, it puts more strain on those who provide care, raising the expense of nursing and medical care.

Patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) often experience various clinical problems, such as pain, agitation, and delirium. Agitation refers to physical restlessness due to treatment discomfort or delirium; this condition cannot be self-controlled [1]. Agitation is common in patients in ICUs; most of these patients (71%) exhibit agitation on approximately 58% of their total inpatient days [2-4].

Many patients with dementia develop neuropsychiatric symptoms and somewhere between 40% and 76% of patients demonstrate agitation and aggression [1,2]. Agitated behaviors are often disruptive and difficult to manage, and are associated with increased caregiver burden and burnout, increased hospitalizations, and elevated health care costs [1,3]. Agitation includes a range of behaviors, including restlessness, pacing, physical aggression, and verbal agitation [4].

For the nighttime sleep agitation assessment, they calculated a short-time Fourier transform [23], based on a combined dataset from the bed sensors data and wrists’ nodes data, to indicate agitation.
The authors established that almost half (49%) of the sleep agitation events occurred before a voiding event, supporting the observation that a need to void can trigger agitation. However, authors did not provide evaluation metrics for the used algorithm, nor differentiated multiple nighttime activities.

Similar studies by Baandrup and Jennum [34] and Saidane et al [35] have monitored agitation and found no change to agitation after 4 weeks of dynamic lighting and a reduction in the frequency of agitation after 6 months of dynamic lighting intervention [29,34]. This suggests that longer exposure durations may be needed to positively impact this parameter of well-being in dementia.

The majority of persons living with dementia experience neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia [2] that are noncognitive, such as agitation, defined as inappropriate verbal, vocal, or motor activity [3]. Agitation is problematic because it can not only impact a person’s morbidity and mortality but also impair motor functions during events of agitation and increase the risk of falling and sustaining severe injuries and subsequent hospitalization [4,5].

Caregiver burden associated with dementia-related agitation is one of the most common reasons for a community-dwelling person living with dementia to transition to a care facility. Agitation is a highly prevalent behavior and is one of the most persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with dementia [1,2]. Several studies have examined the use of technology for the detection and prediction of agitation in dementia [3].

The understanding of agitation continues to evolve. Recent work to evaluate NPSs in dementia has focused on the symptom of agitation. Without a commonly accepted consensus description of agitation, it has been difficult to compare studies or even to know which behaviors are included in studies of agitation [9].

The Pittsburgh Agitation Scale (PAS) allows an observer to rate the severity of agitation related to dementia within individuals [57]. The PAS examines 4 general behavior groups: (1) aberrant vocalizations; (2) motor agitation; (3) aggressiveness; and (4) resisting care related to washing, dressing, eating, and medications. Raters used a 4-point scale when assessing residents’ behaviors over a 7-day period.
