This design aims to help the elderly with mild dementia in Indonesia obtain comfortable media in presenting a summary of non-pharmacological therapy materials, containing mind stimulating activities for daily use. This is one of the efforts to slow down the progression of dementia disease suffered by the elderly in Indonesia.
