Recognizing carers in Canada and understanding their barriers to technology adoptionWorking on behalf of WP2, Jacquie Eales and Janet Fast, with input from Louise Demers and Michelle Plante, wrote a blog post for the APPTA web site. The blog was prepared for and posted on April 2, 2019 to recognize National Carers Day in Canada and highlight the collective work of WP2 (and DATCares) in understanding and addressing carers' barriers to technology adoption.

Using technology to support caregivers of older people with dementiaThis article was undertaken as part of a WP2 KTEE initiative in year 5 on behalf of its four core research projects. We submitted an article for The Conversation Canada, which was subsequently published.
Story pitch: Caregiving takes a significant toll on the nearly half million Canadians caring for a family member or friend with dementia. While research and innovation are essential for effective implementation of the Dementia Strategy for Canada, so too is getting the right balance between ‘tech’ and ‘touch’.
