After decades of interacting online, how can we use the data left behind to support people living with dementia?
“I am proposing a wearable digital platform to assist individuals living with cognitive impairment, specifically dementia. After years of telling a technology platform who you are, this platform could help people to be aware of themselves, be understood and live more fulfilling lives. Having data prior to the cognitive impairment, such as information about eating and sleeping habits, would help support people to maintain their daily routine and maintain greater independence. Our digital footprint is a manifestation of our uniqueness. It is our actualization translated for another intelligence to understand.”
