Innovative projects

At Innovations in Demenita we believe that with the right support and opportunities, people with dementia can communicate, engage, participate and continue to be part of relationships and communities, no matter how advanced their dementia.

Innovations in Dementia CIC will work with people with dementia, partner organisations and professionals to help people with dementia to keep control of their lives by testing new and positive projects and adopting a civil rights approach to overcoming discrimination.

If you have ideas for new innovative projects for people with dementia or are interested in partnering with us on an innovative project please email ideas@innovationsindementia.org.uk

(Re)-teaching people with dementia to use computers

We are working in partnership with Dementia Voice, part of the Housing 21 group on a project which will include an evaluation of the benefits of computer-based activities for people with dementia in day-care settings, as well as the effectiveness of the training process for care staff.

This project is funded by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) under the Innovations in Mental Health programme.

Research into how people with dementia use websites

Nada is looking for volunteers for some research into how people with dementia browse through websites. The research aims to help designers produce websites that are easier for people with dementia to use.

Participants in the research would need to be people with dementia who are willing to travel to City University in Islington, London to take part in the study. The participants will also need to have some knowledge of using websites.

If you are interested, please contact Nada by email:
