Design project for Alzheimer's Patients

Hi there,

My name is Patricia and I am a Design Masters student. I am at the moment developing a project for Alzheimer's patients with special focus in their emotional needs.

I have been doing some research within this area but it would be a great help if I could have a personal or more experienced opinion about this specific subject. What are the real needs of an Alzheimer patient and in which way design could improve their life?

Thank you so much for your time,
Looking forward to hearing from you,
