虽然目前还没有治愈痴呆症的方法，但社会处方活动可以提高痴呆症患者（PLWD）的健康水平。然而，这些活动的可访问性可能会受到位置、不了解活动、日程安排问题或对特定活动缺乏兴趣的阻碍。COVID-19大流行进一步使可及性复杂化，并改变了此类计划协调员对技术的看法。这项博士研究探讨了技术如何改善PLWD及其非正式护理人员的社区空间和计划的可访问性。第一项研究涉及了解用于社会项目的技术在大流行期间如何发生变化，并为项目协调员和技术人员如何适应和开发传播社会项目的技术制定指导方针。目前的研究旨在发现哪些元素可能是必要的空间和方案，以使PLWD感到无障碍，以及如何通过技术翻译或体现这些元素。
While there is currently no cure for dementia, socially prescribing activities can enhance wellbeing for people living with dementia (PLWD). However, accessibility to such activities can be hindered by location, being unaware of activities, scheduling issues, or lack of interest in the specific activity. The COVID-19 pandemic further complicated accessibility and changed how coordinators of such programs thought about technology. This PhD research explores how technology can improve accessibility to community spaces and programs for PLWD and their informal carers. The first study involved understanding how technology used for social programs changed during the pandemic and developing guidelines for how program coordinators and technologists can adapt and develop technology for disseminating social programs. The current study aims to discover what elements may be necessary for spaces and programs to feel accessible for PLWD and how these elements can be translated or manifested through technology.
