Opportunity Purpose
UBC IDEALab brings people together to contribute to Innovation in Dementia care and Aging. We value the voices of people living with dementia towards improvement of dementia care. The Telepresence Robot project is co-led by Dr. Jim Mann who is living with Alzheimer’s disease. We would like to include patient partners’ perspectives to explore how telepresence robots can be implemented in long-term care to improve quality of life of residents.

Details
Patient partners in the project will be attending monthly virtual zoom meetings, have opportunities to engage in planning and facilitating focus groups and interviews, participating in thematic analysis of papers, editing and co-authoring of papers, and participating in conferences with team members, etc, depending on their interests and preferences.

Eligibility
Age: 20 Years – 90 Years Old

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
