Research indicates that individuals with mild dementia could maintain greater independence if assistive technology is tailored to adapt alongside their evolving needs. Alisha Pradhan, an assistant professor of informatics at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, emphasizes the importance of developing customizable solutions that keep pace with the progression of dementia.
As dementia affects cognitive functions, it often leads to challenges in daily living. Traditional assistive devices may not adequately address the changing requirements of these individuals. By integrating adaptive technology that adjusts to the user’s condition in real-time, caregivers can provide more effective support, allowing patients to manage their daily tasks with increased confidence.
This innovative approach not only enhances the quality of life for those affected but also alleviates some of the burdens on caregivers. The research highlights the need for ongoing development in assistive technologies to ensure they remain relevant and beneficial as dementia progresses.
