SimDem A Multi-agent Simulation Environment to Model Persons with
  Dementia and their Assistance
  Developing artificial intelligence based assistive systems to aid Persons
with Dementia (PwD) requires large amounts of training data. However, data
collection poses ethical, legal, economic, and logistic issues. Synthetic data
generation tools, in this regard, provide a potential solution. However, we
believe that already available such tools do not adequately reflect cognitive
deficiencies in behavior simulation. To counter these issues we propose a
simulation model (SimDem ) that primarily focuses on cognitive impairments
suffered by PwD and can be easily configured and adapted by the users to model
and evaluate assistive solutions.
