A home guidance system
for dementia patients.
*
Dementia is a progressive condition
that causes loss of brain function.
For this project, we focused on
early stage dementia to preserve
patients' independence for longer.
EVERYDAY ACTION
"I have to pee, I'll be right back"
SPACE CONFUSION
"Where am I??"
TASK CONFUSION
"What was I doing??"
Early stage dementia causes
sudden moments of forgetfulness
leading to fear and disorientation.
These clips from the movie Still Alice (2014) do a great job
of illustrating the disorientation during early stage dementia.
How might we comfort and reorient early stage dementia
patients after moments of forgetfulness in daily routines?
Forgetting what you want to do.
Forgetting where you are.
Feeling scared and confused.
Early stage patients want to keep their independence but experience
moments of forgetfulness that
shake their confidence.
