The Project

Access to accurate information about dementia is crucial. Family carers of people living with dementia have been found to prefer using digital technologies (internet, mass media, smartphones) to access information on dementia, management, and care. The aim of the Global dEmeNtIa rEsources (GENIE) project is to develop a global repository of online dementia resources for culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

The Moving Pictures Genie resource currently contains dementia information in more than 67 languages, and is intended to be a 'live' resource that can be extended as new resources emerge or are suggested by visitors to the page.

Please note that while care has been taken to only include resources from reputable sources such as dementia peak bodies, health and community services, and universities, the Moving Pictures Genie provides links to and from other Internet sites containing educational materials about dementia. These external information sources are outside the control of the research team. It is therefore the responsibility of the users to make their own decisions about the accuracy, reliability and correctness of information found on those external Internet links, and seek professional advice as required.
