Design for Elderly with Dementia:
Light, Sound and Movement
inspiration from the lighting and sound therapeutic methods for dementia as well as social and cultural activities of healthy elderly This project started with looking into the concept of meaningful activities for dementia and its connection to the feeling of happiness.
for example:
is a process practiced to evoke personal memory and experience of the past
music stimuli may have positive effects on mood and cognitive functioning
Bright sunlight is an effective anti-depressive. A prolonged exposure to daytime lighting improves the stability of rest-activity rhythm in the elderly with dementia.
Playing piano requires fine motor skills that improve the circulation to the brain, and the “brainwork”reduces the risks of dementia.
Daily music-based dance session helps patients with dementia.
In general, the prototype did bring come joy and happiness to the dementia elderly as expected.
The elderly loved to keep trying and interacting with different behaviors of the installation.
They loved to see the glowing and flowing light effects and to hear the curious water drop sounds after they had touched the lights.
The experts comments it as “ pleasant; the elderly love it; they are not bored anymore in the corridor; this provides with minutes of escape”.

3:According to different attention spaces
Getting the attention of the public is usually a challenging
task especially when the installation is surrounded by
crowded and busy elements in an open space, such as
buildings, lights, plants and busy people. Dividing the space
of the interactive public art installation into foreground,
mid-ground and background could help get attention from
people in noisy and distracting surroundings.
