Dementia

ABOUT

MPF were awarded a grant from the Department of Health (Aged Care) to build a care at home platform to help people living with dementia and those caring for them remain in their own homes longer.

We wanted to make it easier for people to find, connect and engage with their local community, friends, families, neighbours and the support services around them. Bringing everything together in one simple tool can provide that little bit of help to remain living at home independently longer.

OBJECTIVE

How can we help carers, and by extension: people living with dementia, to better connect to the assistance they need?

Build on five simple foundations:

we use location or a postcode to provide information on local services;
offer validated, accurate resources and information;
support them by encouraging them to share with people with similar lived experiences via private forums;
allow them to create a highly secure private social network of family, friends and neighbours they trust;
use this network for communication, sharing and asking for assistance with small tasks that can be just too much.

Keeping people living independently longer through the power of community, connection and technology.

Currently part of a pilot study with CSIRO, LIV is a platform designed to help anybody with a life-limiting condition who needs a bit of extra assistance and maybe some additional care. We are assessing LIV's effectiveness for people living with dementia; with early discussions with other chronic conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease), Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke recovery and any other need for palliative care.
