Sentic

In this project, we investigated how a user interface could support people with dementia in having personal and direct access to a music-playing device. Despite a growing interest in designing technology for people with dementia, personal and direct access to systems are not always considered. Therefore, we designed Sentic, an interface concept of a music player of which the user interface can be tailored to fit the different abilities of people with dementia. This project shows briefly the insights from the design process of Sentic that was informed by workshop sessions with people with dementia. Sentic is proposed as an example of an alternative approach in designing interfaces that can be tailored to the different abilities of people with dementia.
