Simple Music Player for Dementia

Welcome

Playing music to people with dementia from their formative years vastly improves their cognizance and lucidity - the effects are dramatic, and are widely recognised by all dementia and alzheimer professionals.

E2L have developed a 'Simple Music Player' with supporting research undertaken by the Bath Institute of Medical Engineering (BIME), which indicates both the benefits of providing people who have dementia with music they enjoy, and the ease of operation that such people require. Verbal communication is often difficult due to short term memory loss but improving the quality of life at home, and avoiding institutional structures, is greatly enhanced by providing music from earlier years.
The problem being that many with early stage dementia find controls difficult to remember or manipulate.
