Evidence-based app recommendations for people living with dementia. Featuring 'failure-free' activities and games for the Apple iPad and other tablets.
All of the apps featured on this website have been identified using an evidence-based review criteria. We will regularly be providing new content and you can follow us on Twitter to keep up to date with our latest additions.
These failure-free games do not penalize users for not reaching a certain score or outcome, allowing users to explore the game at their own pace.

The website contains reviews of apps that have been selected as potentially suitable for people with dementia, information on how to use touchscreen tablets in this context and a guide for users to access so that they can identify suitable apps themselves. It also contains news and publications from our specialist research group comprising researchers from the University of Sheffield in the UK and the University of Toronto in Canada.
