From august 2022 I'm the PI of the DARK.DEM trial Virtual darkness and digital phenotyping in specialized and municipal dementia care: The DARK.DEM randomized controlled trial. - Prosjektbanken (forskningsradet.no), in which we will explore if blue light depleted evening light can alliviate agitation and other behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. We will also deveop digital biomarkers for agitation by correlating data from smartwatches with data from traditional psychometric scales.
