Ulster University went out to tender looking for a software development agency that could take an early MVP and turn it into the final product. The university had carried out research studies under the Dementia Care Research Programme to better understand the challenges posed to health and social care staff when caring for a person living with dementia. It was found that reminisce and the act of reminiscing can vastly improve the health and wellbeing of families and communities living with dementia. With this in mind, Ulster University tasked Scaffold Digital to design and develop a mobile app for both iOS and Android that would assist people living with dementia and their carers in reminiscing. To ensure the new app fully meet the needs of both the research study and their end users we worked alongside organisations like Dementia NI to ensure we understood how people living with dementia engaged with technology and how they used it in their daily life to help them build and maintain connections. Whilst taking into consideration the data we needed to collect for Ulster University to understand exactly how the app is being used in the real world.
