Brief

Inclusion is a machine that calms a person with Dementia while also calming the Caregiver in a stressful situation. A big problem that the dementia assistant will fix is Calming people with extreme anxiety. After talking to caregivers about their issues throughout the day Inclusion was created for the caregiver in tense times.

The caregiver will benefit from Inclusion because there are tools for inclusion and music. Inclusion is something that can be used by two people manually or mechanically. The Inclusion works by using a pendulum with a magnet that moves nails back a forth which is very calming. It can be moved by someone pushing the nails to create an image.
