Users can interact with the projections by moving their hands, arms or feet, stimulating physical and cognitive activity while promoting social bonding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded by John Ramsay, whose father was diagnosed with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, Social-Ability is driven by a deeply personal mission: to bring joy and well-being to people often isolated by their health conditions. The company doesn&#8217;t just provide technology; it also offers comprehensive support including unlimited training, dedicated technical support and customized reports to help facilities maximize the program&#8217;s impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find out more on the <a href=\"https:\/\/social-ability.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Social Ability
