Technology to live well with dementia in Aotearoa

How people living with dementia in Aotearoa use technologies like medical alarms, GPS trackers and medication reminders.

Medical alarms are familiar to many people but what about some of the newer technologies like GPS trackers and medication reminders? How do they compare, what are some of the pros and cons of using them, and what is available in New Zealand? Participants will be able to:

• Define the difference between Medical Alarms and GPS trackers,
• Identify common reasons why you might or might not use them,
• Be able to list and compare the products available in NZ, and
• Know where to go to find more information and resources.
