LIV Well when Life Is Limited: Technology to Support Independence at Home.

There has been significant growth in technologies and services creating 'care at home' ecosystems for people with life-limiting conditions such as dementia. Dementia is one of the leading causes of disability and loss of independence that causes a heavy burden for families and caregivers. There is a clear need to support independent living of people living with dementia and their caregivers. Health technologies can help to foster supported living and social connection. The LIV app, developed by Miroma Project Factory and piloted in collaboration with CSIRO, was designed to achieve these aims. Here we describe the development and functionality of the app and present the preliminary findings from the pilot trial.
