– Description : People with dementia face challenges in keeping track of time in their daily lives. Traditional tools like clocks and calendars, designed to help navigate time, don’t work well for them and can be confusing. Doing daily activities involves negotiating with the world e.g. relying on others, adapting to what’s around, etc. Imagine trying to plan your day when the usual tools don’t make sense. For people with dementia, this is a real struggle thus we need new tools that better understand and cater to their needs.
