SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Why Communities Matter in Digital Health Research
DESCRIPTION:How do we make sure digital health research reflects the people it is intended to support? And what happens when communities are involved in research rather than simply being studied? \nThis livestream is guest hosted by Victoria Greer and is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods and ideas. \nIn this session\, Anisha Ramjuttun will explore the importance of public engagement and community involvement in digital health research. Drawing on their work within an NHS research study using technologies including sensors\, wearable devices and sleep mats to monitor people’s health in their own homes\, Anisha will consider how researchers can communicate this work and involve a wider range of communities in shaping it. \nThe session will draw on Anisha’s experience of community outreach across Surrey and working with lived experience groups. They will discuss the importance of making research understandable and relevant to different audiences\, building relationships beyond traditional research settings\, and creating opportunities for people to contribute their knowledge and experiences. \nAnisha is a Research Assistant at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. Their work combines digital health research with public engagement\, with a particular interest in ensuring different communities have opportunities to understand\, participate in and influence research. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Outdoor Activities and Wellbeing in Dementia
DESCRIPTION:How can organised outdoor activities support the wellbeing of people living with dementia? And how does research change when people with dementia are collaborators rather than simply participants? \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods and ideas. \nIn this session\, Mason McLeod will present their PhD research exploring how engagement with organised outdoor activities shapes perceptions of wellbeing among people living with dementia in the Scottish Highlands. \nUsing Participatory Action Research (PAR)\, Mason places people living with dementia at the heart of their research. They work with a Lived Experience Advisory Panel to guide the project\, ensuring that the voices\, experiences and priorities of people with dementia inform how the research is designed and conducted. \nMason will also discuss their work with two organisations providing structured outdoor activities for people living with dementia. Through in-depth qualitative research\, these settings will form comparative case studies examining how participation in outdoor activities can influence wellbeing and the experience of living with dementia within rural communities. \nMason is a PhD student at the Centre for Rural Health Sciences at the University of the Highlands and Islands. Their research brings together dementia\, rural health\, outdoor activity and participatory approaches to explore wellbeing while championing the right of people living with dementia to be actively involved in research. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Can Language Help Detect Cognitive Decline Earlier?
DESCRIPTION:Could subtle changes in how we understand language help identify cognitive decline before more obvious symptoms emerge? And could figurative language provide a sensitive new approach to detecting mild cognitive impairment? \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods and ideas. \nIn this session\, Millennium Soibifaa Iyobuchiebomie will present her research exploring figurative language assessment as a potential tool for the early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). \nLanguage-related difficulties can be among the early signs of cognitive change. Millennium’s research investigates whether assessing the way people interpret figurative and non-literal language could reveal subtle changes that may not be captured by more conventional cognitive assessments. \nShe will discuss the thinking behind this approach\, how figurative language can be assessed\, and its potential as an accessible and sensitive measure for identifying people experiencing early cognitive change. \nMillennium is a PhD student at Sheffield Hallam University with a background in sociology and psychology. Her research interests include mild cognitive impairment\, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia\, neuropsychology and brain health\, with a particular focus on improving early detection and supporting timely intervention. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
