The European Innovate Dementia project was launched in 2012.  The Symposium will offer you the opportunity to hear an update on progress made and future planned developments.
 

Participating regions are developing technological innovations which are being tested and evaluated in four Living Labs based on the project themes: 'intelligent lighting systems', nutrition and exercise programmes', 'living environment' and 'models of assistance for people living with dementia and carers'.
