ABSTRACT
BPSD affects Dementia patients often and varies. It is needed a best and suit treatment from doctors to handle BPSD attack toward Dementia patients. Therefore, to obtain accurate data of patients in daily care, caregivers are expected to conduct monitoring activities by recording the disorders attack through a mobile application. This study will be focused on several macro activities of BPSD, namely Agitation, Hallucination, Depression, Sleep, Anxiety, and Apathy. The monitoring will be about the duration and the quantity of the disorder happened. It will be recorded based on real-time. Every seven days, the data will be collected and processed into statistical data showing the inclination of BPSD attack. This statistical data will be the basis for doctors in providing and deciding further treatments for the next seven days.
