PHOENIX: A software tester, a dementia nurse and a developer get together at Christmas… I know what you’re thinking… this sounds like the beginning of a joke. This story isn’t a joke, but it is about amusement – literally.
Kerry Howley and Carey Fletcher are the serious brains behind an app designed to help people with dementia, their families, and people working in aged care. Kerry has a lifetime of experience as a dementia and gerontology nurse. Carey brings her knowledge of technology to the project. Together, they’ve developed an app called AmuseIT. We’ve all heard the saying ‘use it or lose it’ and this app is designed to do just that in a fun way which everyone can enjoy.
