Dementia
Dementia can be a stressful and lonely experience for both the sufferer and those who love and care for them, however, technology can make life easier and safer for both.
Dementia makes day-to-day life more challenging, whether it be the little things like mislaying your keys or more worrying things like leave the taps running. Technology can help to support and enable people with dementia to live more independently.
There are around 750,000 people currently suffering with dementia in the UK and many would potentially benefit from technology such as memory prompters that can help improve memory loss, poor self esteem and confusion or flood alarms that can take away the worry and damage caused by leaving the taps running.
As Dementia is progressive and a person’s symptoms will gradually worsen there is a wide range of technology that can help, from very simple tools to high-tech solutions that can help to find someone who has gone missing.
Technology can reduce the stress on carers, improving their quality of life too.
