MNEMOSYNE - Teleassistance services for eldery patients with dementia syndrome, Alzheimer and their family
The Mnemosyne project is conceived to design an online-based platform of health and social care services for individuals with dementia syndrome and Alzheimer, and their relatives.
Main objectives
- To design an efficient and innovative system that will increase the quality of life for families, carers and patients
- To design a system that will complement the services provided by health institutions and professional carers
- To produce a ‘white paper’on policy recommendations to be used as a guideline by health administrations
Activity
The online-based platform will provide innovative means of emotional and informational support for relatives and carers of Alzheimer and dementia patients. It also provides tools for the remote assistance and monitoring of the patients and educational appliances for cognitive stimulation. By conducting a pilot test, the validity of teleassistance home care services for remote therapeutic treatment of dementia and Alzheimer will be researched. The outcomes will give partners the opportunity to draw a picture of the state-of-the-art of the sector and to identify the most pressing needs to be addressed.
