Persons with dementia should be at the centre of decision-making about their care including basic activities (e.g. feeding and dressing), advanced activities (e.g. finances and using transportation), and meaningful activities (e.g. social and recreational pastimes). However, there is limited involvement of people with dementia in design of technology to support their care. The aim of this project is to co-design a computerized toolkit including (i) a model of care qualities, (ii) a visual care plan, (iii) sensor technologies and (iv) intelligent analysis of data to support self-management by people with dementia to remain healthy and independent at home for longer.
