11.01.2022 A Dementia Australia study has found people living with dementia and their carers can benefit from technology when it is customised to meet their unique needs a...nd goals. The study discovered advantages to asking what problems or frustrations a person living with dementia is experiencing and then exploring how technology can be tailored to address these concerns. Through the study, one participant, Rob Riddoch has found improvement in his quality of life through the introduction of an iPad and an Alexa virtual assistant to help with daily reminders. The reminders on my iPad include all of my appointments and activities, and because it is visual, I don’t have to think about it, I just get reminded, Rob said. The more you can do with technology, the less others need to do. That element works well for me and for others. To read more about the study please visit https://bit.ly/ctechstudy
