A large portion of people living with dementia (PlwD) in the community exhibit responsive behaviors that could lead to injuries and distress to them and their caregivers. In this project, Shehrozwill co-design his cloud-based digital health platform with PlwD and their caregivers to deploy it in homes while keeping their dignity and independence. This will empower and enable their voices in the design of digital health solutions for improving accessibility and adoption.
