DESCRIPTION:AAL Programme\nPeople with dementia are confronted with a synd
 rome that increasingly affects their memory\, thinking\, behaviour and abi
 lity to perform everyday activities. The average duration of dementia is b
 etween 2 and 10 years and ranges from mild cognitive impairments to severe
  dementia. Dementia is overwhelming not only for the people who have it\, 
 but also for their caregivers and families and impacts them physically\, p
 sychologically and economically. Dementia is strongly linked with age.\nEx
 isting treatments for neurodegenerative diseases are very limited and only
  treat the symptoms\, rather than addressing the cause. In addition\, no n
 ew drug treatment for Alzheimer’s disease has been approved in the past 
 five years. This means that care and support to increasing numbers of peop
 le who have MCI/dementia\, their carers and communities will be needed in 
 the coming years. ICT technologies offer enormous potential to support not
  only people with dementia to live well\, but also their families\, inform
 al carers and professional carers.\nThe aim of this call is to support inn
 ovative\, transnational and multi-disciplinary collaborative projects with
  a clear route to market and added-value for the different types of end-us
 ers. A key priority underlying this challenge will be to bring together te
 chnologies and services to create ICT based solutions addressing the aspir
 ations and challenges that will enable the wellbeing of people with dement
 ia and their communities (family\, caregivers\, neighbourhood\, service pr
 oviders\, care system\, etc…).Deadline: 26 May 2016\, 5PM CET\nSee more
