Summary
Presenting a research study which explored ways to measure the effectiveness of Namaste Care—a multi-sensory, psycho-social intervention designed for people with advanced dementia—through a biopsychosocial lens. Recognising the challenge of quantifying subjective and relational experiences often described as "magic moments," the research aims to bridge the gap between qualitative accounts and the clinical demand for quantifiable evidence.
