User-centred iterative design of a smartwatch system supporting spontaneous reminiscence therapy for people living with dementia.

Reminiscence therapy is beneficial for improving the quality of life for older adults living with dementia. However, it is difficult for caregivers in care homes to make this part of their daily practice because remembering a resident's individual stories is difficult. Proximity-aware technologies can make rapid connections between residents, their histories, and nearby artefacts.
