Dissemination

| Previous projects have shown that there is very
little awareness about the potentials of technology to support people
with dementia. ENABLE tried to raise awareness in the project partner
countries, as well as Europe-wide and internationally.

|
| Enabling products for people with dementia |
This is the web site of an exciting research
project which was aimed at "marrying the new with the familiar"
when developing and introducing new technology to people with dementia
and their carers. |
|
| |
| Quality of Life |
| The project aimed at facilitating independent living
of people with early dementia and to promote their wellbeing through
access to enabling systems and products. Pleasure, memory support,
entertainment and own activity were key words in the project.
|
| |
| Five countries, wide experience |
| The partners were situated in England, Ireland,
Finland, Lithuania and Norway, are interdisciplinary and had wide
experience in dementia care and research, technology development and
human factors. |
| |
| The project was funded under the EC Programme Quality of Life and living resources,
and lasted for three years, starting in March 2001. |
|
 Funded
by the European Commission under the Programme "Quality of
Life and Management of Living Resources", Contract No. QLK6
