Old age is currently the greatest risk factor for developing
dementia. Since older people make up a larger portion of the
population than ever before, the resulting increase in the
incidence of dementia presents a major challenge for society.
Dementia is complex and multifaceted and impacts not only the
person with the diagnosis but also those caring for them and
society as a whole. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design and
development are pivotal in enabling people with dementia to live
well and be supported in the communities around them. HCI is
increasingly addressing the need for inclusivity and accessibility
in the design and development of new technologies, interfaces,
systems, services, and tools. Using interdisciplinary approaches
HCI engages with the complexities and 'messiness' of real-world
design spaces to provide novel perspectives and new ways of
addressing the challenge of dementia and multi-stakeholder needs.
HCI and Design in the Context of Dementia brings together the work
of international experts, designers and researchers working across
disciplines. It provides methodologies, methods and frameworks,
approaches to participatory engagement and case studies showing how
technology can impact the lives of people living with dementia and
those around them. It includes examples of how to conduct dementia
research and design in-context in the field of HCI, ethically and
effectively and how these issues transcend the design space of
dementia to inform HCI design and technology development more
broadly. The book is valuable for and aimed at designers,
researchers, scholars and caregivers that work with vulnerable
groups like people with dementia, and those directly impacted.

This book gathers revised and selected contributions to the 5th
Dementia Lab Conference, D-Lab 2021, organized online on January
18-28, 2021, from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design,
Vancouver, Canada. It describes original strategies in which design
or creative methods have been shown to uncover, support and enhance
the abilities of people living with dementia. Papers report on new
ideas and findings relating to three main themes: engagement,
empowerment and identity. They cover: ethics of inclusion and
solutions for shifting the culture of care to be focused on both
personal independence and reconnecting with the community; new ways
of designing with people living with dementia; strategies for
breaking negative stereotypes and preconceived opinions; and
approaches to retaining personhood and dignity. Offering a timely
source of information on new design and creative methods to a broad
community of industrial, communication, interactive and inclusive
designers, this book is also meant to address and inspire various
stakeholders and organizations in dementia care.

This book gathers the revised and selected contributions to the 6th
Dementia Lab Conference, D-Lab 2022, held on September 20-22, 2022,
in Leuven. It describes original and innovative research on how
design can contribute to the quality of life of people with
dementia, their loved ones, and caregivers. The papers highlight
the value of participation within design, analyzing it at three
levels: personal, product, and organizational. The presented ideas
and findings address 'The Residue of Design' and go beyond the
initial impact of the design itself by looking at what benefits
design research brings for people with dementia. The papers cover
topics such as the development of creative design methods to foster
participation and engagement from people with dementia, evaluation
studies or critical reflections that reveal the impact of products
and the built environment in dementia care, and raising awareness
and countering stigma in societal views on dementia.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th Dementia
Lab Conference, D-Lab 2019, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in
October 2019. The 12 full and 7 short papers presented in this
volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions.
The papers are organized in topical sections: inclusion &
participation, technology & experience, and Dementia Lab ideas.
