Brief summary: With the HAAL(HeAlthy Ageing eco system for peopLe with dementia) project, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Italy, Austria, and Denmark combine their strength, co-create, evaluate and share their experiences in supporting dementia care by state-of-the-art AAL bundles.Co-design sessions will take place before developing the dashboard, consisting of (in)formal carers, and older people/clients they care for. The HAAL project will conduct field trials with the first version of the dashboard (Alpha testing) and after Alpha testing, a Beta version of the dashboard will be developed according users' feedback. Then more end-users will be incorporated in Beta testing.The aims of the dashboard are to provide support to reduce the workload of the caregivers and allow psychological relief, which eventually support clients' wellbeing.
