Great news for our many students who have created technology to assist #Alzheimers patients and caretakers. Also, a wonderful story of a mother-daughter duo who could change how we see this disease forever. Paula Piccard

GenConnect is an app designed to make it easier for seniors to communicate with their grandchildren, in a way that will appeal to both of them. Brain-stimulating games and text messaging are used in the app to make communicating easy and to prevent isolation and dementia.
