ASU researchers test technology to support seniors with dementia

More from this show

Researchers at Arizona State University are studying how technology may help older adults who live alone with dementia or other cognitive decline. The pilot program is funded by the National Institute of Health and it’s a series of small trials to find new ways for these adults to connect with society and stay active and social using technology.

Professor David Coon, the Co-Director of the ASU Roybal Center joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss these new programs.
