Designability is a national charity joining expertise and knowledge to enhance people’s lives. We are engineering and design experts with a passion for creating life-changing assistive technologies.
We are nationally recognised for our pioneering work in dementia due to our user-centred design approach. One of our latest innovations includes a Ward Orientation Clock, designed in close consultation with people living with dementia, which provides a constant and reassuring source of information on time and place in communal areas such as hospital wards, day rooms, nursing homes etc. This can reduce anxiety, increase independence and make life easier.
