Assessments
 

The assessment studies are being carried out in all five partner countries: Ireland, England, Finland, Lithuania and Norway. People with mild to moderate dementia will try products in their own home for a year, and assessments will include the effect of the products on them, as well as on their carers.

Products will only be offered to the users after a thorough individual needs- and desire-evaluation. Each country, as well as the entire consortium, is responsible for carrying out the research in compliance with ethical principles and specific regulations in the respective countries.

 

Enabling products for persons with dementia

This is the web site of an exciting research project which is aimed at "marrying the new with the familiar" when developing and introducing new technology to people with dementia and their carers.

The project is funded under the EC Programme Quality of Life and living resources, and will last for three years, starting in March 2001.
 
Five countries, wide experience
The partners are situated in England, Ireland, Finland, Lithuania and Norway, are interdisciplinary and have wide experience in dementia care and research, technology development and human factors.
