ADAM relaunched to provide guidance about technology for families 

ByJDCteam

ADAM (About Digital and Me) has been relaunched by Alzheimer Scotland. 

ADAM is a free online platform, co-designed by people living with dementia and their carers, that provides information for individuals and families who are having difficulties finding the right technology to support a person with dementia. All of the products that are recommended have been tried and tested by people living with dementia and their carers through the Dementia Circle project. 

Users of the ADAM platform answer some questions to refine what they need help with and are then provided with recommendations. 

Find out more and use the ADAM platform here: https://meetadam.org
