PhD study: How could improved design help people living with dementia?
Hello All!
Just a quick post to say hello to everybody on here - I'm pleased to have found Talking Point, as I find reading of other people's experiences so educational.
Just to introduce myself, I'm Ruby. I'm currently studying for a PhD in designing for people who are living with dementia, having completed by Human Factors Ergonomics Masters project also in the field of designing for people with dementia.
I would welcome contact from anybody living with dementia or indeed, people caring for somebody living with dementia - as I am looking to engage with people who are affected by dementia, so that I may find out which issues there are that may be solved by design. I'm here primarily to ask for your advice - as you're the experts - but I also have personal experience of how dementia can affect life for somebody, as my Grandfather is currently living with Vascular Dementia.
I look forward to speaking to anybody who may like to give input to my research.
