CARING FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA WITH AN APP
the AGE Platform Europe published an article about the results of the AppForDem project and Ceoma's participation in the AppForDem project.

LAST STAGE OF THE PROJECT
The AppForDem project (Erasmus+, 2019-2022) has created a set of open and multilingual educational resources on dementia in order to provide caregivers with a global vision to cope with everyday problems according to an approach based on the person-centred care model. The main products of the project are an e-learning course and an educational app aimed at carers of people with dementia in English, Italian, Spanish and Romanian.
