Assistive Technology & Dementia
21/04/2023 @ 2:05 pm - 2:55 pm
This is a free online event via Zoom. We will start at five past two (14:05) and end at five to (14:55) to allow people to get between different events. We are the IDEAL dementia research programme, and have our main base at the University of Exeter.
In this eighth session of the IDEAL Webinar Series, we consider assistive technology (AT), or technology designed to help. Nowadays, there are many options for technology in the home to help people to continue living independently, but which types of technology are most useful? What kinds of benefits do ATs bring? Does the technology that people with dementia use change over time? What recommendations could be made about dementia and technology? This webinar uses new research to explore these kinds of questions.
In this session you will hear from:
- Dr Cate Henderson, Assistant Professorial Research Fellow in the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) at the London School of Economics (LSE) and economist on the IDEAL programme.
- An expert by experience from the ALWAYs involvement group. The ALWAYs group of people with dementia and carers advises on all of IDEAL’s research and helps us co-produce resources.
You might also like to visit the ‘Technology worth knowing about‘ page on the Living with Dementia Toolkit.
We will record the session to allow others to watch it afterwards. However, we will edit out questions if you don’t want to be seen. One survey will be sent out after the event after which we will delete your contact information. If you would prefer to book without registering on Eventbrite, please email IDEAL@exeter.ac.uk.
