“A study of problems associated with Alzheimer's disease in the time of eating”

Overview

A university project (part of my dissertation) focused on issues related to Alzheimer's disease around mealtime.

Aim

My goal was to improve the quality of life for Alzheimer's patients, and my target audience was specifically people in the early stages of the disease.

Problem

- There was a danger of falling over and spilling.
- Lack of interest in drinking
- It was hard to collect food with a spoon, and using the edges of the container might cause it to fall over.
- Lack of appetite in eating.

Process

For this purpose and to analyze the issue in depth, I paid several visits to home care centers and nursing homes.
