Technology and those living with dementia

There are a number of technology devices that can be beneficial for people living with dementia. Some of the most useful include:

Reminder apps: These can help people with dementia remember important events, appointments, and tasks. Some apps can also provide reminders for taking medication.

GPS trackers: GPS trackers can help people with dementia stay safe by allowing family and friends to track their location if they become lost or disorientated.

Smart home devices: Smart home devices, such as lighting and heating controls, can be programmed to help people with dementia maintain their routine and independence.

Memory aids: Devices that help people with dementia preserve their memories, such as digital photo frames and voice recorders, can provide comfort and support.

Tablets: Tablets can provide a range of activities for people with dementia, including games, music, and videos. They can also be used for video calls with family and friends.

Audio cues: Devices that play audio cues, such as reminders to take medication or prompts to carry out specific tasks, can be helpful for people with dementia.

It's important to note that technology is not a substitute for personal care and support, but it can be a valuable tool in helping people with dementia live as independently as possible. It's also important to choose technology devices that are user-friendly and easy to use, and to seek advice from a healthcare professional or dementia specialist before purchasing a device.
