Abstract

As the number of older people with a diagnosis of dementia continues to grow, the potential for developing technological solutions to the problems they face is increasingly being recognised. This paper describes the REAFF framework, a set of principles to guide the development of technology to support people with dementia. The framework has evolved from experience developing computerised technology to address psychosocial needs but the principles have broader application across all areas of technological development to support people living with a diagnosis of dementia.
