Working with a participatory design approach, this report details how we (the Music, Dementia, Technology team at The University of Sheffield) have incorporated viewpoints from people living with dementia and those who provide care for them into thinking about the design of musical activities and new musical technologies. This work is funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship.
The collection of data during this project has been approved by the University of Sheffield (ethics approval number 051300). We have express permission from the individuals involved to include their images in reports and web publications resulting from this research.
