It is estimated that by 2050 over 100 million people will be affected by the Alzheimer's disease (AD). It not only affects the patient, but also the whole family and specially the caregiver, who is continuously under great stress conditions. We propose a software environment, called Mnemosine, designed to improve the quality of life of both Alzheimer patients and caregivers and to enhance the communication with the neuropsychologists. Mnemosine will provide them with resources that make easier the disease monitoring and facilitates the patient's daily activities. Mnemosine also includes alarms and agenda modules to manage the patient's daily routine, a GPS route guidance and location system, and a reports utility to evaluate disease progression.
ResumenEste trabajo describe el modelo de enseñanza que la Escuela de Ingeniería Informática (EII) utiliza con los estudiantes que realizan estancias de movilidad dentro de programa ERASMUS. La EII pone en práctica medidas integradoras y facilitadoras encaminadas a que los estudiantes puedan llevar a cabo una estancia agradable y de la que puedan sacar el mayor provecho. En su mayoría los estudiantes son tutorizados individualmente, aunque son evaluados con el mismo sistema que el resto de estudiantes. Ha resultado ser una experiencia enriquecedora desde el punto de vista formativo y humano, donde se fomenta la comunicación y el intercambio cultural en el ámbito de la UE.

AbstractThis work describes the teaching model the EII follows with the students of the ERASMUS mobility program. The EII applies some integration policies to facilitate the integration and outcome of the incoming students during their mobility stays. Although most of the students are tutored individually, they are evaluated using the same marking scheme as the local ones. It has proved to be an enriching experience, from both the training and human points of view, which encourages communication and cultural exchange within the EU.
