AcTo Dementia

AcTo Dementia is a resource for people who are looking for support in identifying touchscreen activities for people living with dementia. The website contains reviews of apps that have been selected as potentially suitable for people with dementia, information on how to use touchscreen tablets in this context and a guide for users to access so that they can identify suitable apps themselves. It also contains news and publications from our specialist research group comprising researchers from the University of Sheffield in the UK and the University of Toronto in Canada.

AcTo Dementia is an international research project funded by CATCH (The University of Sheffield) and AGE-WELL, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Reading and KITE at the Toronto Rehabilitation Insitute.
