Summary
The Technology Empowered Dementia Independence (TEDI) Network Plus is a new network focused on how technology can benefit people living with dementia. Funded for three years, the centrepiece of the TEDI Network Plus is modelling system change. To achieve this, we will carry out a process called ‘visioning’, where we co-create what an ideal new system would look like. Then we will work backwards to establish what steps are needed to deliver this whole system change. We are seeking people living with dementia, family and formal carers, health and social care providers, and innovators, to share their experiences of the current system and ideas for what a new system could look like. We aim to launch our Big Conversation at the UK Dementia Congress, where attendees can directly share their wisdom or sign up for one of our road shows. Together we can change the future of living with dementia.
