The DAlzG have launched a new app “Alzheimer & YOU – den Alltag aktiv gestalten” (create your daily routine). The app offers tips to help organise an active daily life for people with dementia. It was developed specially for relatives in search of suggestions for daily activities to do together with people with dementia. In the app, users find a variety of activities, divided into useful categories such as leisure time, home and garden, diet, wellbeing or safety.
Users can individualise the tips and fill in a name. Every tip is designed with a short text and an illustration. It is also possible for users to recommend their own tips. All new tips will be edited and published. In addition to the tips, users will find some basic information about DalzG and its work: contact details, events, publications and projects. For those who like to play games, the app offers a short quiz. The idea for the app came from two former pupils who won a contest “Alzheimer & YOU – zeig deinen Erfindergeist” (show your inventive talent) in 2016. The app is free and is available in the App Store and Google Play Store. The financing of the app came from BARMER Health Insurance.
