Alzheimer's and home automation

jphebert

Hi everybody,

(a Reddit user suggested I join & post this)

My mom was diagnosed spring 2022 and lives alone in a different city, so I started using “smart home tech” to make sure she was ok and can be notified of any issues. While discussing my installation in my local support group, the feedback I received was very interesting and the one thing which stood out was that I was alone thinking this way and using these tools.

From there I documented what I did and converted a hobby into something I hope will prove useful for all in our common context, and published it at www.alzheimerstech.com. This site is my personal initiative which will hopefully lend a hand to others and there is no commercial angle to this at all.  I simply wish to give back and help. Yes Echo is mentioned and I use it at my mom's house

Any feedback is of course appreciated and feel free to share with anyone or any organization you feel may benefit from this information.

Cheers,
JP
