Abstract: With technology and design we can contribute to the positive well-being and quality of life of people living with dementia, and their carers.One under-researched strategy to do this is sound, and the use of soundscapes.Whereas there is a high potential for sound to support day-to-day functioning and during times of transition to higher levels of care.In this position paper, we sketch our ambition to research the potential of sound and develop interactive Soundscapes (collages of everyday ambient sounds) to calm, reduce agitation, stimulate, excite and engage people living with dementia in times of anxiety, stress or boredom, and promote meaningful activities in high-risk situations.
