The Research Centre Bamberg Living Lab Dementia (BamLid) has existed as a special laboratory for behavioural research and behavioural diagnostics examining elderly people with and without dementia since 2021. The technical equipment also permits the investigation of other mental and neurological disorders to optimise diagnostics and therapy. The key people involved (who are also members of the research centre’s advisory council) are representatives of the following fields at the University of Bamberg: Psychology (Prof. Lautenbacher, Prof. Carbon, Prof. Steins-L?ber, Prof. Wolstein), Computer Science (Prof. Schmid, Prof. Nicklas) and Theology (Prof. Wei?er) and the Bamberg Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (Prof. Hajak) as well as the Centre for Geriatric Medicine (Prof. Grupp). There is a very close collaboration with Medical Psychology in Augsburg (Prof. Kunz) in the field of Behavioural Health Computing and as co-lead of BamLiD. We simulate everyday activities with corresponding behavioural tests (“daily activity simulation”) and objectively measure behaviour and psychophysiology with multi-sensor architecture (video, audio, smart floor, biosignal recorder). The complex behavioural data is also analysed using artificial intelligence methods.
