TRAINING PROGRAM FOR ENHANCING THE ADOPTION OF MOBILE HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES BY PERSONS WITH MILD DEMENTIA
The European Erasmus+ project mHEALTH-AD aims to promote the use of mobile health technologies (mHealth technologies) for people in the first stages of dementia (stages 2 to 4 of the Global DeteriorationScale (GDS)). mHealth technologies include applications that can be connected to medical devices or sensors(e.g. wristbands or watches), as well as technologies that are designed to help collect health information (vital signs such as blood pressure or body temperature) or to support acts of daily living such as taking medication. In addition to general mHealth technologies, there are specific applications for people with dementia that can support, for example, cognitive training, health, and safety monitoring, or social and leisure activities.
