Background
"I want to design a sensory stimulating product that creates a shared third experience, focusing on the present moment and the interaction between the person with dementia, caregivers, and relatives."

Graduation project by Cille Sørensen

As the number of seniors in Denmark steadily increases, the group of people with dementia is growing as well, and more and more end up in nursing homes. It is tough for those who suffer from the disease, for their relatives and also for the staff at the nursing homes.

But a positive stimulation of the senses can help give the person with dementia more good moments in his or her everyday life. The designer has developed a solution that stimulates the senses and creates well-being in the dementia sufferers, whose everyday life in the nursing home will be significantly improved.
