BRIDGES dementia network. will play with ideas big and small from music to maps, from robots to a proper chat with friends. Come and share what you love and help picture what new technology for life with dementia could look like if it was designed around you.

What happens on the day?
Join for one or more of the friendly sessions. Each session is about two hours long and looks at a different part of life. In each session you’ll chat about what you enjoy, what could be better, and then the lab session will imagine design ideas together. There will be no wrong answers, and no tech skills needed. Some ideas might be gadgets or apps, others might just be a clever twist on something everyday.
