Making the most of touchscreen tablet devices for people with dementia

The availability of touchscreen tablet devices on the market has led to an increased interest in their potential usefulness for people with dementia, particularly for providing meaningful and enjoyable activities. The challenge is to identify off-the-shelf applications (apps) that are suitable for people living with dementia. The InTouch project attempted to find out what features games need to make them engaging to people with dementia and how to identify apps that are suitable for people with dementia.
