The Mental Health of Older Adults and Dementia Clinical Academic Group brings together academic and clinical staff within the department of Old Age Psychiatry and South London and the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre, part of the Maudsley NHS Trust, into a single grouping to promote excellent research and the delivery of clinical services for older people with mental health diagnoses and dementia.
Led by Prof. Dag Aarsland, renowned globally in the field of Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s, the work will be undertaken by Zunera Khan, Research Portfolio Lead, Dementia Care.
With a focus on the new functionality now included in ReMeLife that addresses Covid issues, such as isolation, loneliness and remote engagement through activities, the work will generate an evidence based impact study of the mood and wellbeing benefits of the systems’ technology in care homes and assisted living.
