Researchers from the University of Suffolk are looking for 25 people to trial Snapshot Boxes in social care settings.
Snapshot Boxes, created by Suffolk firm Chronicle, are photo frames that play voice recordings, enabling a person with dementia to view photos alongside the voices of loved ones.
The trial is part of a six-month research project, funded by Innovate UK (part of UK Research and Innovation), to evaluate the effectiveness of the boxes in supporting people such as those in the early stages of dementia and people at risk of isolation, including residential or domiciliary care clients.
Participants will receive a bespoke box to use and enjoy over a period of several weeks, and the only requirement for participants and their carers/families is to actively engage with the researchers to complete a survey and short interview.
