The Guardian could offer people with dementia new ways of living independently for longer, according to The the University of Surrey . Wales programme, IoTUK, is running a series of projects, including more than 850,000 living labs at the University of Surrey , to explore a range of connected devices including smart wallets that track pill usage, bottles that dispense the correct dosage of medication, and avatars to guide people through care routines. The data collected from the devices can be sent to carers, allowing calls or visits to be arranged. Eventually, the systems could be offered by the IoT to those diagnosed with the condition.
