JOERGIE
An Interactive Seat for People With Alzheimer’s Dementia
Description
The shortage of nursing staff reduces the quality of care for patients, as well as the activities available to them. For this reason, a seat has been designed for people in all stages of Alzheimer’s dementia that has a calming and distracting effect. Thanks to the plug-in system, the armrests are interchangeable to suit individual needs. Patients can explore different sensory stimuli, stimulating their senses and improving their cognitive abilities. This has a positive effect on the patient’s dexterity and prevents stiff fingers. All the furniture is made of solid oak and the upholstery is made of an antimicrobial cover with a waterproof and urine-resistant coating. ‘JOERGIE ‘ is designed not only to improve the well-being of patients, but also to increase the efficiency of medical facilities.
