Fondation Médéric Alzheimer invites professionals using digital devices and psychosocial interventions to complete a flash survey in advance of its related symposium in Geneva

31/08/2024

The Fondation Médéric Alzheimer is organising a symposium during the upcoming 34th Alzheimer Europe Conference in Geneva, on the theme of "Digital devices and psychosocial interventions: challenges and issues". The symposium aims to provide an overview of the digital devices used in the implementation of psychosocial interventions, and to discuss the challenges and barriers to their use. It will take place on Wednesday 9 October, from 17.30-18.30. A flash survey has been launched by Fondation Médéric Alzheimer, to find out what type of digital devices professionals use for which psychosocial interventions, as well as to establish the added value of these devices and the difficulties encountered by professionals when using them. The survey also looks at training, and at feedback from people with dementia and their carers. The results of the flash survey will be presented and discussed by the speakers at the symposium in Geneva, with concrete examples provided. The speakers will be Christine Tabuenca (Fondation Médéric Alzheimer), Nigel Hullah (European Working Group of People with Dementia), and Maribel Pino (Broca Living Lab). If you are a professional working with digital devices and psychosocial interventions for people with dementia, you are invited to complete the survey, via this link: https://app.keysurvey.fr/f/41740941/4e94/
