As a group we passionately believe in the use of technologies as an enabling force within the field of dementia and are currently writing a guide for using Alexa the Amazon AI entitled Alexa and Me. A dementia guide to using Alexa Which will be available soon Perhaps our greatest challenge to date has been the development and production of our one act play (soon to be 2 acts) Caught in this moment of Time performed by our very own semi professional Theatre Company called the Demented Poets Society ( semi professional in that many of the people both acting and behind the scenes have been on stage directed stage managed danced been technicians in their working lives some still work others have retired some have memory problems some don't but all are committed to creating a way of changing peoples perception of dementia through performance.
