Towards Tomorrow
A dramatic change is needed
Adapt envionment to people with cognitive deficitsAs our society has changed the environment for people with physical and perceptual deficits in 80’s, so we have to do for people with cognitive deficits.
Change our approach in health services while providing continuous and appropriate assistance
To prevent risks To ensure good habits
Cognitive assistance and TeleHealth are part of the solution
