Abstract
Often the elderly people and their family are unaware of the seriousness and potential morbidity associated with sleep problems in older people, distinct from the morbidity of concurrent disorders. The paper does not intend to deliver an in depth review of sleep and sleep disorders in older persons. Rather, it presents an overview of sleep patterns of the elderly patients measured by the sensors and providing the output through any output screen and suggests appropriate evidence-based recommendations for assessing and treating sleep disorders in the older adult population. This capstone project is proposed to design a user interface using mock-ups (using PowerPoint) for the variety of stakeholders and perform usability testing of multiple display options.
