Mindings is a service that helps people with dementia and social isolation by providing daily schedules and reminders on a mobile device. It aims to give users a sense of structure, choice, and connection by informing them of activities and social opportunities. The document discusses Mary, a woman with dementia who feels anxious and lacks control over her life due to not knowing what is happening from hour to hour. It then introduces Mindings and explains how the service could help users like Mary stay active and engaged by providing a view of their daily schedules and options. Trials at NHS hospitals found Mindings improved wellbeing and happiness for those with memory issues or who felt socially isolated.
