For an Active Life with Dementia

Across Europe, the number of dementia patients will rise sharply by 2050 – and with it the requirement to maintain their independence and quality of life for as long as possible. Using a smartwatch and an e-notebook, Memento provides support with visual packing lists for leisure activities or appointment reminders for doctor’s appointments.

Background

People in the early stages of dementia face countless challenges that affect work, social life, and overall well-being. The Memento project aimed to support an active life with dementia with the help of technological innovation.

 

Studio Dankls approach

The focus was on working with people with dementia and their families as well as their coping strategies in everyday life. For this purpose, design ethnography, probes, interviews, and a series of co-creation workshops were conceptualized. In a comprehensive development process with European partners, Studio Dankl was responsible for the research design.

„Design Research enabled the project and design team to appreciate the needs and solutions of those affected, to practically involve them in the development and to use their know-how as a central basis for the development of the system.“

Stefan Moritsch (consortium partner Memento )

The smart watch is a companion that supports people in their everyday lives.

Result

Memento is a family of products, consisting of a notebook with an integrated pen and a smart watch. The design brings together services such as a daily overview, the reminder of a planned leisure activity, or when the patient should take her medication.

„For this EU research project, the interdisciplinary design team was already involved in the application process. Technical development, user research and hardware design were therefore coordinated from the beginning and played a strategic role.“

Stefan Moritsch (consortium partner Memento)

      Co-Creation Now

      by STUDIO DANKL

      Process design and support

      Start into the future with a Co-Creation process tailor-made for you.

      • Process design and support
      • Depending on the project, approx. 4 to 18 months

      Co-creation is contextual and situational, so no two design processes are exactly alike. From a pool of proven methods and creative processes, we put together a customised and project-dependent process. This is divided into a preparation phase in which the goal, desire or opportunity is identified, an implementation phase that covers idea generation, prototyping and implementation up to evaluation, and a post-project phase in which adaptations are made and projects are further supported.

      Focus content:
      — Based on a free initial consultation, offer for a tailor-made project divided into preparation phase
      — implementation phase
      — post-project phase

      Target group:
      Organisations from the public and private sector

      Number of participants:
      To be determined jointly for co-creation activities.

        The artist, filmmaker, and photographer Timotheus Tomicek and the designer Kathrina Dankl share a long-standing tradition of occasional lunch dates. An unstructured exchange of ideas often opens up new perspectives on one’s own work. We invite project partners, customers, and other interested parties to have lunch with us. Everything else – including new perspectives – arises situationally during the conversations.

        Focus content:
        — Eating together
        — Guest shares current topic, challenge, project idea
        — Questions, reactions, perspectives, input, ideas from Timotheus and Kathrina
