Led by a geriatric psychiatrist/clinical researcher, a project team from the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute is using their Spark award of $48,650 to accelerate the development of a mobile app that can track and assess responsive behaviours in people with dementia.
An integrated care pathway (ICP) is a new approach pioneered at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, designed to ensure that a person with dementia who needs help sees the right people in the right order, at the right place, and at the right time throughout their treatment journey.
Virtual Care project builds on an existing Baycrest program, which uses video to help transition clients with dementia-related responsive behaviours to long-term care.
