Interactive Systems for Seniors
with Dementia in Long-term Care
MSc. Y. (Yuan) Feng
dr. PDEng. MEng. Jun Hu, dr. Ir. Emilia Barakova,
prof. dr. Matthias Rauterberg
People with dementia living in Long-term Care (LTC)
are gradually experiencing diminished functional abilities
caused by this brain disease. The declined cognitive
functioning, decreased mobility, loss of memory and
inner motivation provides inevitable challenges in
engaging this group in activities.
Lack of engagement are associated with disruptive
behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia
(BPSD) such as agitation, wondering, apathy, passivity
and depression.
With no known cure in sight, developing and
evaluating meaningful activities that foster and sustain
engagement is critical for promoting quality of life for
seniors with dementia in LTC.
Seniors with Dementia in LTC
Diminished Cognitive Abilities of Dementia
Inhibited memory
Reduced emotionality
Deteriorated cognitive functions
Degenerated language skills

Within dementia study, researchers find
that one promising way to effectively achieve
enhanced engagement is to actively engage
people with dementia in activities that can still
stimulate their remaining functions.
Multi-sensory stimulation provides
senses stimulation (visual, audio, tactile,
olfaction and taste) without the need for
complex reasoning, therefore are ideally for
any stages of people with dementia.
Enhanced Engagement
Multi-sensory stimulation
Relaxation Stimulation
Development Therapy
Calm and reduce agitation through gentle
light, soothing sound, relaxing smell or
touch.
Stimulating users by providing exciting visuals,
music, sounds, smells and textures to explore.
Can be used as a learning and
developmental tool for cognitive abilities.
Help the users calm down, ease aggressive
behaviors, find inner peace.

Interactive Systems for Seniors with Dementia in
Long-term Care are derived from interdisciplinary
research between Occupational Therapies and Design.
The project aims to engage people with dementia in
designed meaningful activities, in order to achieve
enhanced engagement and reduced behavioral and
psychological symptoms of dementia. It investigates
how multi-sensory stimulation and levelled interactivity
within interactive system influence users' engagement
while interacting.
Interactive Systems
An interactive installation CtN was developed
and built in the public hallway of Vitalis for on-site
user testing and research development. The original
design aims to connect residents with outdoor life
through an indoor interactive experience, due to
their limited access to real nature.
It shows relaxing farm scenery from a
Dutch child farm displayed by a high
definition screen. A physical old-time style
water pump that pumps real water into the
water trough was built for interacting purpose
and sensory enhancement. When the system
detects a resident is interacting with the pump,
it sends a video feed of animals being fed.
Closer to Nature
Closer to Nature engages seniors with dementia in relaxing
nature experience through multi-sensory stimulation and rich
interactions.

The project aims to engage people with dementia in designed meaningful activities, in order to achieve enhanced engagement and reduced behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. It investigates how multi-sensory stimulation and levelled interactivity within interactive system influence users' engagement while interacting. Interactive Systems
  • 8. An interactive installation CtN was developed and built in the public hallway of Vitalis for on-site user testing and research development. The original design aims to connect residents with outdoor life through an indoor interactive experience, due to their limited access to real nature. It shows relaxing farm scenery from a Dutch child farm displayed by a high definition screen. A physical old-time style water pump that pumps real water into the water trough was built for interacting purpose and sensory enhancement. When the system detects a resident is interacting with the pump, it sends a video feed of animals being fed. Closer to Nature
  • 9. Closer to Nature engages seniors with dementia in relaxing nature experience through multi-sensory stimulation and rich interactions.
