💙 A HUG can say more than words ever could. 🤗

HUG by LAUGH - AUSTRALIA was proudly showcased at the International Dementia Conference 2026, where it sparked plenty of smiles, conversations, and meaningful connections.

One of the highlights was seeing Mila Obucina from Advance Care Planning Australia and Low Mui Lang from All Saints Home, Singapore, enjoying a HUG and experiencing firsthand why this simple innovation is making such a difference in dementia care.

Research and real-world experience have shown that HUG by LAUGH can help:

💙 Reduce anxiety and agitation
💙 Provide comfort and reassurance
💙 Improve communication
💙 Reduce loneliness and isolation
💙 Foster a sense of purpose
💙 Increase oral and fluid intake
💙 Support non-pharmacological care and reduce reliance on medication
💙 Assist with personal care and medical procedures
💙 Reduce distressing behaviours
💙 Help people feel calm and "grounded"
💙 Improve mood and support self-soothing
💙 Increase Dementia Care Mapping scores

Every HUG has a story.

We've heard incredible stories from families, carers and clinicians about the positive difference HUG has made in the lives of people living with dementia—and we'd love to hear yours.

🎵 Personalised Comfort with HUG by LAUGH – Because No Two People Are the Same.

That’s why the HUG by LAUGH - Australia features a unique Music Box function, allowing you to personalise each HUG to truly resonate with the resident.

Using simple download or Bluetooth capability, you can upload:

• Favourite music that brings back meaningful memories
• Audio books for comfort and engagement
• Personal messages from loved ones near or far
• Familiar sounds – like farm life, ocean waves, or everyday moments that feel like home

This level of personalisation helps create a deeper emotional connection, supporting residents experiencing dementia, anxiety, or loneliness.

Because comfort isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s personal. 💙

Today’s highlight: genuine smiles. ☺️🤗

A recent comment on LinkedIn said, "as to the use of psychotropic drugs and locked wards, believing they are best for people living with dementia." That kind of thinking misses the human side of care. Medication can sometimes reduce symptoms — but it isn’t the only (or always the best) answer.

We’ve introduced over 300 PARO Seal Australia and over 650 HUG by LAUGH - AUSTRALIA into care routines, and the results are telling: calmer residents, increased social interaction, and improved staff-resident connections. These are not gimmicks — they’re supported by research and real-world outcomes.

To add perspective, roughly $21 MILLION is spent on dementia-specific medications. Imagine redirecting part of that investment toward evidence-based, non-pharmacological interventions that preserve dignity and spark connection. That’s where real change happens.

If you work in aged care or acute settings and would like to try these tools, I’m happy to help — or drop your questions below.
