This project explores how people living with dementia and their caregivers create clever do-it-yourself (DIY) solutions to make everyday tasks at home easier and safer. By collecting and analyzing these homegrown innovations, the project will then have these DIY innovators work with student and professional designers and engineers, who will help them turn their ideas into practical solutions that others can use safely. This project puts the voices and ideas of people living with dementia and their caregivers at the center of the development and management of their innovative solutions, recognizing their creativity and valuable insights.
