The Smart Dementia Care project1 seeks to lengthen the period of independent living for people newly diagnosed with a dementing illness, and to help those people maintain quality of life while living independently. The project is developing a toolkit including a computational model of qualities of daily living for persons living with dementia (PLWDs), that will aid PLWDs in maintaining beneficial activities, and which can suggest alternatives if the original activities are no longer being performed. The toolkit is being co-designed with PLWDs, formal and informal carers.
