Developing solution application and usability research to help dementia patients. Lead Investigator: Reshma Patil-Kelkar Institution : Holmusk E-Mail : reshma.patil@holmusk.com Proposal ID : 593 Proposal Description: The research we want to carry out in developing applications in the scope of helping improve the quality of life of patients with dementia. The technology and programs that are currently marketed as preventing or slowing cognitive decline focus on cognitive training, while ignoring other components such as living a healthy lifestyle by eating healthily and engaging in physical activity, and social interaction. Additionally, the existing technology in the dementia field mostly tend to focus on one area ??? for example, screening, cognitive training, or locator apps and devices. Few of these applications incorporate multiple areas thus, a framework consisting of a holistic approach is sorely lacking. Our dementia framework will encompass a screening component, a psychoeducation module, a wellness module, and other services that will help caregivers such as a clinic/hospital locator, home help services, locator apps, etc.
