The Story behind Happiness Kits

We created these kits because of a personal experience. My uncle was diagnosed with dementia, and it had a huge impact on our entire family. We saw him change from a vibrant and a happy person into someone who wouldn’t speak and engage with anyone. We had to constantly find ways to keep him busy and engaged. My aunt, his care partner, was the unsung hero who took care of him day in and day out. She created an assortment of activities and games to keep him engaged and help his memory and cognition. And that’s when we realized that this is something that everyone with a diagnosis would need. That’s why we created happiness kits!

What are Happiness Kits and why should seniors and people diagnosed with dementia use them?

Happiness kits are physical kits that contain activites to help enhance brain health.  Studies featured in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, 2020 indicate that participation in arts and crafts is correlated with a reduced risk of developing mild cognitive impairment and enhance a range of cognitive functions, including memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, the study suggests that art therapy interventions can notably reduce levels of agitation and aggression among individuals with dementia.

What makes happiness kits unique?

Happiness kits are not just a random set of puzzles and games collated together. We have worked with early stage patients, care partners and dementia experts to offer a curated, sensory rich and structured routine with personalized, engaging activities, catering to diverse interests and cognitive abilities.

Every month, we include different activities in the happiness kits such as

• Memory Journal with intuitive prompts
• Word and numerical Puzzles
• Connect the dots
• Adult Coloring pages
• Arts and crafts activities
• Art supplies

Our kits provide several distinct advantages.

1. These kits introduce variety and novelty into the routine, preventing participant boredom and enhancing engagement.
2. The kits are a one stop solution and provide caregivers with a hassle-free solution, saving valuable time typically spent planning and organizing activities. With our kits, caregivers no longer need to scour various sources for puzzles, prints, art supplies, pencils, pens etc. Our goal is to simplify the process for caregivers and those diagnosed, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all involved.
3. The kits include a survey that can be filled by the users and the caregivers. By regularly monitoring the responses, we want to ensure the ongoing relevance and effectiveness of the activities, creating a positive and enriching environment for everyone.

What We Need & What You Get

Happiness kits are just the beginning! We are also working on AI-powered solutions to help people detect signs of dementia, plan for the future and manage isolation and forgetfulness. Our goal is to empower our customers to lead independent, dignified lives with transformative AI-driven solutions for

• Cognitive assessments
• Brain stimulation

We are seeking $100,000 in investment to support the production and distribution of Happiness Kits nationwide, as well as to develop the MVP of our digital solution. Additionally, this investment will facilitate the provision of support and educational services, including weekly meetups for patients and their caregivers.

The Impact

Experts say, dementia is the next global pandemic. 1 out of every 3 people is likely to be a patient or a caregiver. There are over 55 million people who are diagnosed with dementia globally. The annual global cost of dementia is above 1.3 trillion dollars. Despite these staggering figures, elder care remains severely overlooked. Factors such as loneliness, social isolation, and cognitive inactivity are identified as pivotal contributors to dementia onset. Compounding this issue, an increasing number of dementia patients face isolation and depression, while caregivers grapple with exhaustion and burnout.

Challenges
