In response to the growing awareness of the value of the arts in the healthcare environment, supported by a growing body of scientific research, hospitals throughout the Western world are expanding their collections of artworks, organizing events with music, and creative therapies.

The portraits are published online as well as in physical exhibitions. With this project, she wants to break shame and let us see how inspiring, funny and special people with dementia are. In her presentation she will give insights about her way of work and some tips and tricks to do it yourself. She will also explain why music has such a strong effect on people with dementia.
Tom Kortbeek and Roos Meerman of Fillip Studios developed KozieMe: a pillow that makes music by touch, developed for people with Dementia. The user can listen to his or her favourite music, audiobooks or recorded stories from family members. The idea of the KozieMe derived from the art piece Tactile Orchestra, that has been exhibited in Cooper Hewitt Design Museum in New York and is shown in Kolding in Denmark at the moment. Roos will talk about how this art piece became a product for health care.
