Over 7 million people have dementia in the United States, and it’s only going up. ‘Light Up Your Day’ is a wall installation that uses color, music, and scents to help people with dementia understand what time it is. One of the many impacts of dementia is that it can be confusing what time it is. People can wake up in the middle of the night thinking it’s noon. This can also mean behaviors that relate to the time, like sleep, can be impacted. ‘Light Up Your Day’ seeks to solve this.
‘Light Up Your Day’ is an acrylic-based abstract form to display color, music, and scents that can help solve these problems. ‘Light Up Your Day’ uses science-backed research to synchronize the clock and behavior. For example, in the evening, it might have a blue color, classical music, and a lavender smell to induce sleep. Future capabilities include a smart assistant and motion sensor for reminders and help. Overall, ‘Light Up Your Day’ is a smart, research-backed way to help with at least one impact of dementia.
