About the Project

The project “Digital Tools for Dementia Caregivers” proposes a highly innovative educational model that leads to the development of a professional curriculum based on the use of Digital Competences applied to the caregiving process. It combines innovation with the need of supporting family members in providing assistance to patients living with dementia. At the same time involves international partners with the aim of sharing knowledge and good practices so that the results from national level become of a European impact.

Project Goals

  • Curriculum design of the family caregivers through specific skills that can transform a necessity into a professional opportunity. The project aims to improve Digital Competences so the program focus about the use of the digital tools is expected;
  • Generate Digital Competences through the use of Extended Reality immersive experience (Software “in Your Shoes”);
  • Validation of competences acquired thanks to the curriculum;
  • European sharing of experiences, involvement of European specialized organizations that will bring their expertise in designing the caregivers’ curriculum.
