Hi,
Firstly I will introduce myself, my name is Tim and I am about to start my third year in university Studying computing. I lost my Grandfather last year, he had dementia, and the loss and seeing him go down hill was incredibly hard for me; he was such an amazing person.
I am starting to think about the research project I am going to do from September as part of my final year dissertation and I can think of no greater way to pay tribute to him than to research into ways that technology and computing can be used to help either those who have dementia or their carers.
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on anything they feel is currently missing or could be improved that would help them or their loved ones? My area of interest is more in software & the web but I also have some experience in creating technology based around sensors & mobile phones.
Thanks for reading
Tim
