What?
Connected screens in different places in the home that help you remember, and to perform everyday chores. The screens can sit in the kitchen, bathroom and in the bedroom and are wise enough to keep track of time and day's activities.
The screens are reminiscent of brushing your teeth when you go out to the bathroom (if it's not already done!) And playing a small movie in support.
Why?
People who suffer from dementia or cognitive impairment often have difficulty remembering to perform everyday tasks such as brushing their teeth. These people often suffer from poor oral health, which can further impair their quality of life.
During the ongoing corona pandemic, a new, in some cases fatal, health risk has arisen. Today, it can be a big risk to become infected with covid-19 if you have difficulty remembering to wash your hands. Since people with dementia often belong to one or more risk groups, this is an important issue and a solution would mean a lot to these vulnerable and fragile people.
How?
The assumption is that if the person suffering from a dementia disease watches a film on how a task is performed, it will be easier for the person to perform it. You are reminded from time to time about doing the chore and how to do it.
