Person-centered care for dementia patients (back-end system development)

Dementia is a syndrome that interferes with a person's daily life activities by causing the loss of the ability to think, remember, and reason. Currently, dementia is incurable, however there are treatments that can reduce the symptoms. At person-centered care centres, such non-pharmacological...

Currently, dementia is incurable, however there are treatments that can reduce the symptoms. At person-centered care centres, such non-pharmacological therapy is provided.
