HUG by Laugh - Sensory Companion & Music Player

DESIGNED TO BRING COMFORT AND JOY

Therapy dolls
have a remarkable effect on men and women in the middle and later stages of Alzheimer's disease. They are calming, soothing and bring the person back to a time in their life when they felt useful and had a sense of purpose; when caring for a young family member was the #1 priority. Alzheimer’s doll therapy helps patients and loved-ones escape from a world where someone is always caring for them.

HUG™ is an award-winning sensory-product designed to be cuddled. Designed specifically for people living with Dementia, it has a beating heart within its soft body and with weighted limbs it feels as if it's hugging back.

HUG™ can also play uploaded music from a favorite playlist.

The Research Behind HUG™

HUG™ has been developed from academic research undertaken at Cardiff Metropolitan University, led by research director Cathy Treadaway. Knowledge gained from the LAUGH (2015 - 2018) and LAUGH EMPOWERED (2018 - 2020) projects have helped the creation, development and evaluation of HUG™.

The team collaborated with people living with dementia and their families as well as professional caregivers, to create and evaluate the HUG™ design. They worked closely with over 70 organizations, including Alzheimer's Society and the NHS, to develop HUG™ as an award-winning product. This helps ensure HUG™ is appropriate, useful and safe to use at home, in residential care and in hospitals.

The doll is nice for my mother. She sleeps with it and that's great for soothing. Thanks for all the ideas that make life a little easier.
