    Abstract

    This paper explores a comprehensive strategy aimed at encouraging the emotional well-being and reducing sleep disturbances among dementia patients, particularly those residing independently. As dementia progresses, patients encounter diverse behavioral challenges and struggles with daily tasks, necessitating increasingly attentive care. The research methodology employed enables a systematic examination of the multifaceted factors influencing the disorder, leading to the development of a robust solution. The framework undergoes evaluation utilizing Bloom's Taxonomy, incorporating a deep understanding of the variables contributing to dementia. Tailored to the specific needs of dementia patients, the framework focuses on emotional enhancements and sleep disturbance reduction. The devised solution endeavors to enhance patient well-being through animal therapy, music therapy, and aromatherapy, fostering a calming environment conducive to their comfort and safety, effectively addressing the identified challenges. Moreover, the solution comprises both physical products and a user-friendly app, facilitating seamless navigation. Thus, this paper seeks to address the demand for tools catering to emotional enhancement and sleep management tailored specifically to dementia patients living independently.
