Fuxi

FUXI is an application made to assist Persons with Dementia and those who care for them by tapping into the power of music in improving wellbeing and engagement.

Research has demonstrated the effects of using familiar music as a way to increase brain activity and thereby improving alertness, ability to sustain conversation and physical and mental engagement in Persons with Dementia.

The effect can be transformative and it can restore a sense of dignity for Persons with Dementia, while also providing relief for caregivers.

Finding and tracking this music can be additional work for caregivers. This is where FUXI can help. By using a wealth of knowledge developed over a 10 year collaboration between caregivers, healthcare providers, volunteers and Persons with Dementia, we have developed this free app to help support people anywhere at any time.

The app will remember your preferences and the more you use the app the more effective it will become. Recommended music is catered especially towards Persons with Dementia, as it is based on a wealth of research from caregivers and healthcare providers.
