Empowering Lives through Technology
"Abilia are working with several UK Local Authorities to provide Assistive TEC solutions that provide people living with cognitive condition to live a more enriched and independent life."
Living with Multiple Conditions
Claudia Greaves-Gurr faces the daily realities of Epilepsy, Addison’s disease, Hypothyroidism, Asthma, and Anxiety due to a brain bleeding at birth. Despite her challenges, Claudia remains determined to lead an independent life.
Overcoming Obstacles
Claudia struggles with difficulties in memory, social anxiety, and task completion. However, she is inspired by the prospect of living independently in her own apartment, supported remotely by her PA, Lisa, and her family.
The Solution: Abilia’s MEMO Planner
Upon an introduction to Abilia’s innovative MEMO Planner at Claudia's home, a trial was quickly arranged with the enthusiasm of Claudia’s PA and family.
Enhancing Daily Routines
The MEMO Planner addresses Claudia's needs by:
- Reminding her of appointments
- Structuring her daily activities
- Prompting medication times
Claudia now feels more equipped to manage her medication and keep track of her daily tasks.
Renewed Confidence and Enhanced Independence
"Having the MEMOplanner means that I am in more control of my life," Claudia shares, demonstrating her newfound autonomy.
Remote Support and Care Efficiency
With access to Claudia’s calendar, Lisa can confirm the completion of tasks without needing a home visit. Checkable activities—like the morning routine or taking medication—allow for efficient remote check-ins through ‘myabilia.’
Quotes from the Community
Lisa emphasizes the benefit saying, "Having MEMOplanner allows me to keep in touch with Claudia’s activities – to encourage her from a distance, still enabling her to be in control of her life – and giving her the confidence to come into her own and blossom."
Tony Brennan, Regional Sales Manager for Abilia, reflects, "We are delighted to witness the positive impact Abilia’s MEMOplanner has had on Claudia’s daily life, providing her with the structure and routine she needs to manage her daily activities.”
A Model for Independence
The enhanced functionality of the MEMO Planner not only boosts Claudia’s independence but also provides reassurance to her support team.
Abilia’s commitment to innovative Cognitive TEC solutions is paving the way for others in the community living with similar conditions, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of an enriched and independent life.
