It’s a smart bedside lamp that improves the sleep of people with dementia
By easing the transition from day to night, the lamp simulates dusk and dawn through slow-light transitions. A companion app allows caregivers to set the sleep schedule and check on the sleeping patterns of the person in care, giving the caregiver the necessary information to feel at ease.
I started this project by looking at multigenerational homes. During my research, I quickly realised that one of the main reasons why people of different generations decide to live in the same household is to care for their sick or elderly loved ones, who aren’t able to take care of themselves anymore. In the UK, one of the main diseases causing this is dementia.
