Ask HN: Assistive Tech Ideas for Dementia

thanksd1 pts0 comments

One of my family members was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer s. They re still in the very early stages and living independently, but my wife and I are in the process of getting the right legal documents and financial account access in order.My role has mostly been to help with their technology so we can reduce friction. The big thing is obviously remembering passwords to accounts and we re getting her set up with a new macbook and looking at using Apple s Passwords app, since she uses iPhone and Apple Watch already.But I m wondering if anyone else has experience with helping a person through the progression of this disease and would recommend any specific software or categories of tech setup that I m not thinking of.I sense that the time is now to set things up for the future. I feel like there s opportunities with assistive tech, but I m just unfamiliar.
