Virtual self-care: a support tool for caregivers to actively take time out for
themselves. An initial questionnaire available in an online format allows caregivers to
understand the key areas of focus for their own health and well-being. Goal setting and
educational materials assist the caregiver in prioritizing activities while being offered
fun rewards to keep them on track and motivated.
Safety sensors and monitoring apps: interactive safety monitoring tools designed to
be seamless in the home of the person with dementia. Caregivers have the opportunity
to track the sleep habits, movement and wandering of their loved one. The caregiver
can be notified of any unusual changes through the mobile application and can also
decide who has access to this information within the family.
Online memory aging program: an online learning module through which caregivers
will have the opportunity to learn about their own memory concerns and educate
themselves on aging and brain health. Caregivers will also be able to take part in live-
virtual sessions complementing the online course. (Baycrest Original)
Video-streaming designed for seniors: technology designed for seniors, easy to use
with a novel one-click-of-a-button remote. It allows anyone with a TV to have access to
dementia care related content in a video-streaming format.
During its pilot phase, B@H will continue refining its service, using feedback from pilot
clientele to enhance its features and deliver the best quality of care and support.
