“Alzheimer’s Association launches free app for newly diagnosed dementia patients,” by Donna Shryer, McKnights LTC News
“The Alzheimer’s Association launched a new free mobile application designed to support newly diagnosed dementia patients and their families as they navigate the early stages of the disease. According to the app creators, My ALZ Journey addresses a critical gap in post-diagnosis support for the millions of Americans affected by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. … Key features include personalized content based on the user’s role (patient or caregiver), age at diagnosis and location. The app provides step-by-step guidance for adjusting to diagnosis, educational materials about dementia and caregiving, connections to local Alzheimer’s Association chapters and interactive planning tools.”
LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:
Dementia? There’s an app for that.
