Our commitment to research
Not knowing where you are or no longer being able to find your way to the baker’s is a fate suffered by many people with dementia. We developed the Sea Hero Quest video game to help with dementia research by collecting anonymous data relating to spatial orientation.

This collected more research data than would ever have been possible using conventional methods.
