Part Three

On July 30, 2020, the focus will be on "Challenges in interior design for dementia patients".

Due to their illness, dementia patients often feel threatened, especially in environments that they do not recognise and do not recognise or by foreign objects and devices. Spatial concepts therefore play an essential role in giving patients the feeling of security and safety. This is especially true for hospitals that seem unfamiliar and threatening to patients. But also in care facilities and in the home environment, a suitable room design can contribute to the well-being and thus facilitate the work of the nursing staff.

In the third part of the lecture series, Brigitte Bührlen from the Stiftung Pflegender Angehöriger (Foundation of Caring Relatives) will therefore discuss the challenges and requirements of home care. Initial experiences and ideas for dementia-specific patient room design are explained using the example of a project at the Helios Clinics. Using lighting control and sensors integrated in the room, exemplary technical possibilities are presented.

In the ensuing discussion, nurses and physicians will discuss the need and necessity for technical solutions with the technology developers and providers together with the forum participants. Click here for the program.
