Exploring how friendly and sensitive technology could support dementia carers and families,

“Hi everyone, I’ve been working as a carer in a dementia home and know how challenging it can be, both for professional carers and for families looking after loved ones at home. I also know carers who are struggling to find placements for people who need 24/7 care.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about how technology could help lighten the load. I’m curious – have any of you come across tools or tech that actually make a difference in dementia care? What do you wish existed to make your job (or caregiving) easier?”

“Would love to hear your thoughts on this!”

Hi @Sophialove

I see you were posting under two different names, but deleted your post under the pen name Clinton. I have therefore deleted that account.
