The Alzheimer Screensaver

Great idea, great social invention. This idea combines a screensaver and a social network to aid Alzheimer's sufferers. As the inventor, Said Dajani, explains:

"The screensaver is a virtual scrapbook - a carer and person with dementia can work together to upload pictures, video, text.

We have found that an offline scrapbook has been of real benefit to both and we want to extend this to the digital world. It puts people in contact with their memories."

Combined with a social network to facilitate secure and shared discussions, the site will now be built: the prize for winning the design competition. Superb use of new technology....

wow, I see that the world is becoming social again. It might sound stupid, in many German blogs, one can observe the upcomming of social ideas. I guess more and more people will make Business Ideas of it, but mostly just want to help or to have the good feeling to have helped. Bye, you need informations about Germany, just contact me, I owe you one!
