Supporting the Ethical Use of Innovative Technologies in Dementia Care

Innovative technology, such as pet robots and virtual reality, are increasingly used in dementia care to improve psychological and social wellbeing. However, we do not know enough about how these technologies can be used respectfully and ethically to support people with dementia in residential care. 

To help us understand how to use these technologies ethically, we would like to have a chat with people with dementia, their family members, and aged care staff to understand their experiences and/or thoughts. 

We are looking for people who can understand and speak English, and are open having a meeting to talk about innovative technologies, who are:

• People with dementia (60+ years) living in aged care or at home
• Family members and carers (18+ years) who support someone with dementia
• People working in aged care communities 

The meetings may take place in-person or online, depending on participants' preferences.
