“…Another example is that activities should be multimodal. Similarly to other works [24,54,66], we found that visual cues and music contributed to engaging people living with dementia in social interaction. However, our indings are grounded in the use of a digital app that was installed on a tablet device.…”

Technologies can support the wellbeing of people living with dementia in residential care by fostering meaningful interactions through multimodal and playful features. This article presents the evaluation of A Better Visit, an app that aims to engage residents and visitors in shared activities. We define engagement in terms of dyadic interactions with the interface of the device, and interactions within the social context of the care home. We generated two Motivational Models that describe different perspectives of how people engaged with the system: the first was built with the design team, and the second was built using the first Motivational Model as sensitising concept for the analysis of data from four care homes that used the app for periods of three months. Our findings show that the facilitation of activities plays a relevant role for engaging in social interaction. We discuss how technologies can contribute to engaging people living with dementia in social interaction: firstly, facilitation can be understood as a concept that is supported by people and technology. Secondly, we discuss the influence of the social context of the setting and the understandings of the individual in how people assess engagement of the residents in social interaction.

“…Accordingly, technologies for dementia are re-conceptualized to focus on individual potential and possibility rather than the loss of skills or abilities [4,65,66,78]. This ongoing body of work has resulted in numerous prototype developments [38,49,53,92,107] and ethnographic evaluations in residential care settings [36,66,78,79] and motivated Experience-Centered Design research for people with dementia in HCI [35,38,78,109]. These works promote socially inclusive practice [12,48,104], empowerment and agency [38,74,106,110] and a sense of self and identity [4,58,66,78,109].…”

“…This body of research has shifted perspectives of people with dementia from addressing perceived cognitive and physical disabilities to acknowledging them as individuals with unique lived experiences [4,66,78,109]. Therefore, there is an increased research interest in technologies that enrich subjective experiences by offering sensory stimulation [49,54,92], enabling people with dementia to make social contributions in their environment [38,79,110], and exploring and maintaining selfhood and identity [4,66,108,109].…”

Research in HCI is increasingly investigating the role of technology in supporting meaningful and social activities to enhance the lived experiences of people with dementia. However, to further enrich the daily experiences in care, more insight is needed into how technology can directly promote social participation and pleasurable experiences in everyday care situations. This paper discusses the deployment of VITA and SAM: two research products that address the social and emotional needs of residents in day-to-day dementia care. We report how both products offered aesthetic and sensory enrichment, created new experiences in the everyday, and were integrated into the care environment. Furthermore, we identify implications for design to provide: 1) aesthetics in care, 2

“…Their system not only presented activation content, but also attempted to moderate its presentation. Sas et al [38] use wall-sized display as alternative way for content presentation (with a focus on sensory stimulation) on a large scale and could show a high engagement. Some activation systems use music or tangible devices to create activation paradigms which stimulate many senses.…”

I-CARE-An Interaction System for the Individual Activation of People with Dementia

I-CARE is a hand-held activation system that allows professional and informal caregivers to cognitively and socially activate people with dementia in joint activation sessions without special training or expertise. I-CARE consists of an easy-to-use tablet application that presents activation content and a server-based backend system that securely manages the contents and events of activation sessions. It tracks various sources of explicit and implicit feedback from user interactions and different sensors to estimate which content is successful in activating individual users. Over the course of use, I-CARE’s recommendation system learns about the individual needs and resources of its users and automatically personalizes the activation content. In addition, information about past sessions can be retrieved such that activations seamlessly build on previous sessions while eligible stakeholders are informed about the current state of care and daily form of their protegees. In addition, caregivers can connect with supervisors and professionals through the I-CARE remote calling feature, to get activation sessions tracked in real time via audio and video support. In this way, I-CARE provides technical support for a decentralized and spontaneous formation of ad hoc activation groups and fosters tight engagement of the social network and caring community. By these means, I-CARE promotes new care infrastructures in the community and the neighborhood as well as relieves professional and informal caregivers.
