The What Matters App: A digital solution to support person-centred care for people with dementia

The What Matters App:
A digital solution to support person-centred care for people with dementia

About

The What Matters app is created to be user-friendly with simplified screens. The dashboard and its accompanying screens are what the app looks like for both staff and family partners.

Creating a profile for each patient includes basic information and what can calm the patient, what brings joy to them and what interests them.

The media gallery contains videos of interest for the patient that help them to feel joy and help staff calm the patient.
