“…The impact of music in dementia care has been extensively studied [4,33,56,58,62,68], while the full potential of everyday sounds has yet to be demonstrated. This gap exists despite research in HCI demonstrating how sounds from everyday life evoke memories [7,31] and how people value familiar sounds that have positive associations linked to loved ones or meaningful events in their lives [52,60]. Everyday sounds that are perceived as pleasant and enjoyable can induce positive emotions [66], resulting in beneficial effects for physical and cognitive wellbeing [1].…”

“…This builds on research on acoustics in care facilities that stresses the need for regulated ambient noise levels in care environments to reduce stress and to prevent agitation among residents and staff [ 61 ]. With new forms of ABT, such as “sound zone technology”, individual listening experiences could be provided in communal areas to limit sound disturbances between individual listeners through a specific speaker setup [ 62 ]. We conclude that more research is required to gain a full understating of how ABT can cater universally and for the individual at the same time.…”

Music and familiar everyday sounds can be meaningful for people with dementia by providing benefits such as evoking memories and emotions or prompting social interactions with caregivers or relatives. Motivated by this potential, researchers and designers are investigating how to leverage these beneficial effects of sound in care environments through audio-based technology. However, there is a gap in the knowledge of how audio-based technology can be successfully implemented within everyday care practice. In this paper, we present the outcome of three participatory workshops with 18 professional caregivers to explore how audio-based technology can add value to existing care processes and activities in residential dementia care. During the participatory workshops, professional caregivers (1) mapped existing care activities; (2) linked findings in research with practice, and (3) designed scenarios for the Vita sound cushion. Care professionals indicate how audio-based technology can support existing care practice by influencing the mood of residents and by supporting social interaction during moments of care, daytime activities, or situational sessions. This study bridges research findings with insights from practice, contributing to a shared understanding of opportunities for embedding audio-based technology in dementia care. These opportunities motivate future research to implement and evaluate audio-based technology in residential dementia care.

“…Nonetheless, preliminary efforts have explored the potential of sound zone technology. For example, Lundgaard and Nielsen investigated possible listening situations for sound zones in homes without employing sound zone technology [71]. Through interviews, they developed a 2-by-2 framework that outlines conditions for designing sound zone interactions.…”

“…First, is the conceptual visualisation. Conceptual visualisation aims at conveying the potential capabilities of sound zone technology, often visualised by representing bubbles around a listener's head or by encapsulating multiple listeners sharing the same audio content (e.g., in research [71,85] and in the public domain [67,107]). Second, is the technical (or even factual) representation of sound zones.…”

“…This can l to different representations and visualisations of sound as also described in 2.5. Previous visualisations of sound zones have either served the purpose of providing either a conceptual [67,71,85,107] or technical representation of sound zones [99,104]. However, they fall short when considering the dynamic environments of, for instance, a home [90,109].…”
