Yesterday I presented my research ‘Sentic: A Tailored Interface for People with Dementia to Access Music’ during the demo and poster reception @acmdis2019. Had such interesting conversations about design for dementia and the future! #dementia #design

[Rens Brankaert @RensBrankaert]

We had a great workshop @acmdis2019 on Intersections in HCI, Design and #Dementia! So many new ideas to work on! Super excited for the main event tomorrow. @gailkenning @FarahSoley893 @James_H0dge @davidunbehaun #acmdis2019

[Designing Interactive Systems Conference @acm_dis]

from yesterday, WS11 "Intersection in HCI, Design and Dementia" focused on participatory approaches for working with people living with dementia, challenge assumptions and provide concrete examples to inform design and technology development. #DIS2019
