COMPAs
Are you caring for an elderly person with a neurodegenerative
disease or who has trouble communicating?
The Research Center at the University Institute of Geriatrics of
Montreal (CRIUGM) presents the COMmunication Proche
Aidant application, or COMPAs, a simple app with one main
purpose: to aid communication between people with
communication disorders following a stroke or dementia, and
their caregivers or family members.
COMPAs is an idea by Dr. Ana Inés Ansaldo, a researcher and
specialist in human communication neurosciences, in
collaboration with speech therapist Michèle Masson-Trottie, and
multimedia specialist Guy Banville.
We thank all those who suffer of dementia and their caregivers, as
well as the professionals and institutions who have contributed in
the development of the software.
