China Scholarship programme: Exploring digital games with older Chinese people with dementia

Digital games designed specifically for people with dementia can keep them engaged and stimulated, providing them with meaningful things to do as well as keeping their brains and bodies busy, but little is known about their acceptance and use with different cultural groups. This project will explore the potential of digital games to address the needs of older adults of Chinese heritage for stmulation, entertainment and cognitive maintenance.
