Description

Care partners for people with dementia already carry phones and smart speakers, yet few use the helpful features daily. Andrew Kiselica describes a program under development, called Tech-AiD, meant to close that gap, in a 2025 conference presentation.

The work behind it ran in four parts: interviews with 22 care partners, a survey of 100, a draft program design, and feedback rounds with partners and professionals. Early findings mapped six areas where technology helps care, plus drawbacks like cost. The program's aim is plain: turn devices people already own into daily support for memory, safety, and appointments.
