DCC team up with Amazon UK to create Alexa guide for unpaid carers
Dementia Carers Count (DCC) has collaborated with Amazon UK to launch a free, easy-to-use guide helping unpaid carers to make the most of Alexa-enabled devices.
The guide has been created with input from dementia carers and the DCC team and supports unpaid carers to use Alexa features such as adaptive listening, reminders, photo frame (with Echo Show), drop in and shopping lists. TV presenter Ruth Langsford, a carer herself, is supporting the campaign.
Frances Lawrence, CEO of Dementia Carers Count, says:
“Nearly one million UK residents live with dementia – one in two of us will either provide or need dementia care in our lifetime. While technology can’t solve every challenge, working with Amazon Alexa means we can offer practical tips that make everyday caregiving tasks a little easier.”
