The Dementia-Friendly Home app
The Dementia-Friendly Home app is available for tablets and mobile phones. Using interactive 3D game technology Unreal Engine, the app provides carers with ideas to make their home more accessible for people living with dementia. Many of the app suggestions are small, inexpensive solutions ranging to more significant changes.
With 70 per cent of people with dementia living in the community, the app enables the home to be made more dementia-friendly. This can allow the person to stay in their own home, enjoy their regular lifestyle activities and remain engaged with their community for longer.

The Dementia-Friendly Home app was developed through funding by the joint Commonwealth and State Government Home and Community Care program. The Deakin Software and Technology Innovation Laboratory (DSTIL) worked with Dementia Australia to develop this technology.

Exceptional Quality
What Dementia Australia provided was of exceptional quality. I can’t think of how it could have been improved.

Excellent use of technology in dementia learning
Designing homes for people who lose the ability to communicate their confusion or fears would not be possible without an understanding of how their senses have been altered.
The Virtual Dementia Experience™ is an excellent way to experience this very confusing state and consequently to consider how the built environment might be enhanced to allow a higher quality of life for someone with dementia.

It recalled my memories
Pearl has recently experienced the Virtual Forest. "It is happy and easy going - I was captured by the forest, it was so 'beautiful' - It recalled the experience with my family."
