As part of the Dementia-Friendly Singapore movement, there is a growing range of community networks and resources that support caregivers in caring for their loved ones with dementia. These include six Dementia-Friendly Communities islandwide and a growing pool of Dementia Friends.
The Dementia Friends mobile app is a new addition to these resources available. It leverages on technology and social media platforms to provide caregivers and Dementia Friends with knowledge, resources and support.
Through the app, users can:
- Get easy access to information and resources on dementia and caregiving
- Find out about the support available in the community for persons with dementia
- Sign up as Dementia Friend to show support and be part of the community look-out when a lost person with dementia is reported.
The mobile app was developed by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), Nanyang Polytechnic’s School of Information Technology and Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS). The project was supported by Tote Board.
