IDC 2024 'Innovating Person-centered Care through Dementia-friendly Art'
September 5th, 2024
Sydney, Australia

Neuroaesthetically informed, dementia-friendly art solves this by replacing institutional cues with familiar, naturally coloured, salient imagery that supports wayfinding, reduces triggers, sparks memories, and restores a sense of home—improving wellbeing while lowering care demands.
