Description The contribution of education and development of people with Alzheimer's disease using ICT focuses on research that was conducted in the thesis at the Pedagogical Faculty of the University of JE Purkyne in Usti nad Labem. Research has been used 30 seniors (100% women) who are the draw divided into experimental and control groups, and every 15 probands. The experimental group participated actively in our interventions and services that provide facilities in which we realized the research, while the control group did not participate in our intervention, only participated in the service of the institution. These groups are further divided in 5 probands depending on the type of dementia (light, medium, heavy type). At the launch we conducted an initial examination using a diagnostic tool (Addenbrookský cognitive test) and after the intervention we conducted the same test output evaluation. Finally, the research we carried out a comparison of the results between the experimental and control group, the experimental group which amounted to more positive results in the test areas (memory, attention and orientation, etc.) Compared to the control group, who rather saw a drop in points. Total intervention from the perspective of the authors assessed rather positively. There are mentioned both advantages and disadvantages of the entire work, but the results show that it makes sense to regularly mobilize clients with Alzheimer's disease, and access to them as to everyone.
