This project addresses the urgent need for safer and more intuitive mobility aids for individuals aging with dementia who wish to remain in their homes. As cognitive decline increases the risk of falls, and as family caregiving becomes less feasible due to geographic separation, there is a growing demand for supportive, empathetic design solutions. This research explores how mobility devices can be adapted to meet the unique perceptual, emotional, and functional needs of people with dementia—offering both physical stability and cognitive reassurance. The goal is to promote dignity, independence, and safety through thoughtful, user-centered assistive design.
