The winners of @Challenge_Works' Longitude Prize on Dementia, CrossSense, and the team from @milbotix recently demoed their tech with people living with dementia - great to see it getting global coverage.
Wearable technology, like glasses and socks, may soon be helping people with dementia live more independently. CrossSense, a U.K. company, is developing glasses that prompts wearers to safely carry out tasks at home.
What a week for the #LongitudePrizeOnALS! 🧠
