The HOMEDEM(Co-designing a home with dementia) Doctoral Training Network carries out research at several levels: a) the micro level, how dementia affects relationships between PwD and their care constellations; b) the meso level, understanding the changing needs of the home living environment; and c) at the macro level, understanding how care constellations navigate the complex care ecosystem of community-based support and services. HOMEDEM is a network of 8 PhD researchers across europe researching different aspects of dementia care in Europe. The current PhD focuses on understanding the role of design and technology in enhancing autonomy among people living with dementia at home and the resource implications. This PhD also tries to understand the general public's attitudes and their willingness to pay for new psychosocial models of dementia care in Ireland using a discrete choice experiment survey.
