Occupational therapists know that supporting independence for older adults with dementia or cognitive decline means going beyond generic reminder tools. In this session, Valérie Larochelle, CEO and co-founder at Eugeria and Idem, shares insights from deploying connected smart clocks through a 7-month pilot program with home care patients. Drawing on real case studies, including measurable reductions in medication-related home visits and caregiver burden, she'll explore how purpose-built assistive technology can extend safe, dignified independence at home, and what OTs should look for when recommending cognitive aids to clients and families.
