Adopting an internet-of-things product design approach, we present two concepts that respond to practical and emotional needs associated with changes in memory function. HydrationCane, a design to support improved hydration in people with early stage dementia, provides users opportunity to continue to engage in the outdoor pursuits of walking and climbing familiar within the design’s Korean use context. SoundReminiscence draws upon research on audio/music therapy and episodic memory to provide people living with dementia opportunity for reminiscent storytelling through technology enabled memory ques as bespoke sound files. Although differing in their focus, scope and aims the two concept designs indicate how an internet-of-things approach represents opportunities for the design of products that empower and enhance the lives of people living with dementia.
