London, April 29: A new app has been designed for Facebook users to raise greater awareness about the disease.
The FaceDementia app created by Alzheimer's Research UK takes charge of personal Facebook pages and temporarily erases important memories to give a feel of how dementia affects the brain, the BBC reported.
The app allows users to watch their personal photos, important details and status updates disappear before their eyes, followed by short videos featuring people affected by dementia explaining what impact the symptoms simulated by FaceDementia had on them or their relatives.
