The evolving role of technology in dementia care

Explore how tech is transforming dementia care. Join Ron Beleno on June 24 to learn practical tools and trends for frontline caregivers.

Technology continues to transform how caregivers support people living with dementia. In this session, Ron Beleno shares real-life examples and emerging trends in dementia care technology—from tracking tools and voice assistants to sensor-based safety innovations. With a focus on practical application and emotional return, Ron explores how frontline care workers can harness technology to improve care, reduce stress, and build confidence in daily caregiving routines.

In this session, participants will:

  1. Gain a clear understanding of accessible technologies relevant to dementia care.
  2. Leave with tools and insights they can apply directly in their caregiving roles.
  3. Feel more confident in evaluating and introducing tech solutions in their workplaces.

Responsive behaviours are actions, words, or gestures that may appear aggressive but often reflect unmet needs, fear, or distress—such as yelling, swearing, hitting, or refusing care. In this huddle, staff review what responsive behaviours are, discuss the emotional impact of experiencing verbal abuse, and explore strategies to self-settle and seek help when needed.
