Memory Faults

Alzheimer is one of the most frequent types of dementia. With the increasing extension of life expectancy, and an increasing incidence above sixty-five years. Near to thirteen million cases are foreseen in 2050 with an estimate cost above two hundred billion dollars in associated care expenses. It becomes important to take measures to ensure quality of life to patients, carers and promote the sustainability of public and personal finances. The major concerns with those patients are memory faults with the tendency for wandering and get lost. The present work proposes a solution for permanent monitoring, risk assessment and reaction, when needed, while extending battery autonomy for the worn device. Data is periodically uploaded to be processed and analysed in a remote infrastructure such as FIWARE. The aim is to establish profiles that better adapt to each citizen of the evergrowing community of dementia patients, including those with Alzheimer disease.

The Impact

The impact of biomedicine and biomedical technologies on identity and sociality has long been the focus of medical anthropology. In this article we revisit these debates in a discussion of how unprecedented encounters with biomedicine during the West African Ebola outbreak have featured in Sierra Leoneans’ understandings of citizenship and belonging, using the case study of an Ebola vaccine trial taking place in Kambia District (EBOVAC Salone). Analysing our ethnographic material in conversation with a historical analysis of notions of belonging and citizenship, we show how participation in a vaccine trial in a moment of crisis allowed people to tell stories about themselves as political subjects and to situate themselves in a conversation about the nature of citizenship that both pre-dates and post-dates the epidemic.
