Abstract

"This book explores the practical application of recent improvements in technology for people living with dementia and highlights the positive outcomes on care, quality of live, and services on patients through exploration of 15 research projects to redefine the future of dementia care. Using research compiled in collaboration with leading universities and organisations across Europe, this book demonstrates how INDUCT's (Interdisciplinary Network for Dementia Utilising Current Technology) findings resulted in implications for practical cognitive and social factors to improve the usability of technology, evaluating the effectiveness of specific contemporary technology, and tracing facilitators and barriers for implementation of technology in dementia care. Featuring a unique training programme along with a wide range of patient-public involvement, this state-of-the-art volume will be essential reading for researchers, academics, and scholars in the fields of dementia and mental health research, gerontology, psychology, and nursing"
