Digital Timelines is a project consisting of a training course and support materials to help users produce materials for the benefit of people with dementia or memory loss. The project maximises the use of developments in ICT with regards to digital devices and associated progress in consumer access, to produce a training programme and bespoke digital resources which can encapsulate memory stimulating information from a variety of media to benefit a person with dementia or memory loss and their family, friends and carers. The project allows practitioners in care and family members to produce an effective resource which is at very little or no cost to the persons with dementia or memory loss. The project encapsulates a research element consisting of national research and an international comparison of the five partner countries (UK, Romania, Slovenia, Turkey & Sweden) which informs the development of a training package, easily transferable and accessible to individuals, carers, families and professionals alike. The training package can be cascaded on a one-to-one basis or in small groups and is available as an eCourse. This is supported by examples of Digital Timelines Videos (called a Personal Digital Memory - PDM), as well as an instructional resources / video, to ensure that along with many other complementary support interventions, the products are universally and freely available as Open Educational Resources (OER). As well as the National Research and International Comparison Report the project trained 72+ participants who in turn created example videos and instructional videos. The resources are available in the partner languages as well as English.Dementia is a universal phenomenon which is increasing at an exponential rate. It is estimated that there are currently 1.04 million (1.65%) sufferers in the UK, 270,300 (1.26%) in Romania, , 32,000 (1.57%) in Slovenia, 331,000 (0.44%) in Turkey and 173,000 (1.82%) in Sweden. (Alzheimer Europe 2012 stats) There are more than 10 million across Europe and 44 million globally. Directly linked to longevity, this is set to double over the next 20 years. Until, indeed if, dementia becomes curable, it represents an increasing cost challenge for governments, as well as an increasing social and moral challenge for humanity. These challenges therefore create demand by governments, communities and families for new, innovative and low- cost services which help to manage progress of the disease, maintain quality of life and help people stay away from expensive chronic support services This means that care for people with dementia is a growth industry and offers economic opportunities for European workers. Furthermore, the scope to use increasingly sophisticated ICT to help people with dementia is likewise a growth field, with new assistive technologies regularly coming on stream. Already, there are a variety of therapies accessible to dementia carers, family, friends and professionals , which help the person with dementia to sustain activity of the memory function and maintain good quality of life for as long as possible eg. compilations of favourite songs; written and photo-annotated 'life story' personal accounts.In the initial exploration of the value of and demand for the outputs of this project, organisations across the partnership have been encouraging and supportive. The immediate impact of the project is that people/carers/family, those in direct contact with people with dementia or memory loss have been trained in the production of the PDMs across Europe, as well as being trained to train others in a workplace situation. This allowed users to appreciate how they, or those trained by them, can improve the life of a person with dementia by stimulating memories in a technical and multimedia way. A number of third sector organisations and SMEs providing Health & Social Care have benefited from knowledge exchange opportunities that might not otherwise be easily available via our Community of Practice and activities, by being able to share best practice and adopt the project learning materials as part of their programmes of CPD and education and training. Sustainability is an area where we already have very positive responses from internationally respected organisations including Alzheimer's UK. Our sustainability plans, and our reach at local, regional, national and EU level is one of the major strengths of this project. We envisage that this project will sustain itself indefinitely and will generate a whole raft of similar interventions which focus on the individual.
