Understand what it is like to have dementia? Impressive results of the Intense project by Louise Hopper. See their website for dementia simulation toolkit: experiencedementia.EU #32AEC @InterdemEurope

An ambitious Alzheimer organisation in Ukraine and then the war started. Completely new challenges had been tackled with help of many volunteers! Impressive! #32AEC @InterdemEurope

Good idea of Prof Jan Steyaert to not sit so much at conferences! #prevention #dementia #32AEC @InterdemEurope

Enjoyed the @DTdementia symposium, bright early stage researchers in #technology and #dementia. European Working Group of people with dementia involved, so hopefully also a good uptake of technologies! #32AEC @InterdemEurope

Interesting studies by @ClarissaGiebel about huge impact of COVID on unpaid carers. Easy accessible mental healthcare and support is needed #32Aec @InterdemEurope

Great roundtable discussion during the World @Jain_tech Challenge A good consensus that people affected by dementia should be involved right from the beginning when developing products to support them! You can join the live stream here: youtube.com/watch?v=BNyuXw…

Great keynote by @PEttenes a young single LGBTQ+ man with dementia! Gave insight in his live and requests a simple thing: love and empathy #31aec @InterdemEurope

@SaraLBartels @AlzheimerEurope @JeanGeorgesAE Congratulations with your award!!

@NicolineTamsma Nicoline (EU commission) share information about good technologies so that more people can profit from it! Fully agree!! #30AEC

@AlzheimerEurope Shocking that 55% thinks nothing can be done

"What are the key barriers to timely diagnosis?" - question asked to delegates at #30AEC this morning. Here are the results

Lessons learned on technology, dementia & COVID #30AEC: education of staff, provision of relevant digital tools, people that assist using them, information where to find them, good infrastructure
