Project Description

Project Description

Reaching Beyond Dementia GreyMatters is a tablet application that aims to improve quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers. Through an interactive life storybook, paired with music and games, the app helps patients and families preserve yesterday’s memories, as well as share today’s joyful moments. With a strong belief that people with dementia are “still here,” GreyMatters taps into the abilities that remain to keep individuals engaged and connected.
