This thesis discusses the use of technology by dementia sufferers themselves, not just “assistive technology” to improve the safety of patients and is used by care systems around the world already.Studies have shown that the use of mobile applications can help stimulate user’s brains and give them a sense of helping themselves to deal with the illness.
This project aims to create a conceptual model and prototype of a mobile system to help dementia sufferers with daily tasks such as taking medication and remembering to eat properly. It is intended to be used in conjunction with caregivers to reduce the need for 24/7 care and keep sufferers independent for as long as possible.
