The digiDEM Bavaria Project
The provision of digital services in the dementia sector forms one of the two pillars of digiDEM Bavaria. In addition to digital services, digiDEM Bavaria also includes surveys of people with dementia and their caregivers throughout Bavaria over a period of three years. The aim is to gain insights into the course of the disease and the situation of relatives, and to identify possible deficits.
digiDEM Bavaria forms a network of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, the University Hospital Erlangen, and the Medical Valley European Metropolitan Region Nuremberg innovation cluster.
The project is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care.
