LAUGH
Cathy yw Prif Ymchwilydd ar y prosiect LAUGH a ariennir gan AHRC, sy'n gydweithrediad ymchwil dylunio rhyngddisgyblaethol rhyngwladol tair blynedd gydag ymchwilwyr ym Mhrifysgol Technoleg Sydney a Phrifysgol Dinas Birmingham. Mae'r prosiect yn cael ei bartneru gan Gwalia Cyf a'i gefnogi gan Age Cymru a Chymdeithas Alzheimer. Mae'r ymchwil yn ymchwilio i ddatblygiad datrysiadau dylunio sy'n ymgorffori electroneg wedi'i ymgorffori a deunyddiau craff er mwyn creu dyfeisiau chwareus wedi'u personoli sy'n difyrru, tynnu sylw, cysuro, ymgysylltu, dod â llawenydd, a hyrwyddo byw 'yn y foment' i bobl â dementia cam hwyr. Mae’r ymchwil rhyngwladol hon yn mynd i’r afael â’r alwad gan Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd a chenhedloedd yr G8 am gydweithrediad rhyngwladol er mwyn mynd i’r afael â her fyd-eang y boblogaeth sy’n heneiddio 

Sensor e-Textiles
Mae’r ymwchil yma wedi ei gefnogi gan REIF a gwobrau OPAN. Mae'n ymchwilio i ffyrdd arloesol o gefnogi lles pobl â dementia trwy ddatblygu e-decstilau synhwyraidd a dillad 'craff'. Nod yr ymchwil yw dylunio, prototeip a gwerthuso tecstilau synhwyraidd sydd wedi'u hymgorffori â thechnoleg glyfar er mwyn ysgogi, difyrru ac ennyn diddordeb pobl â dementia cam hwyr. Mae'r gwaith yn cael ei lywio gan grŵp datblygu ymchwil sy'n cynnwys pobl hŷn, gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol, gofalwyr, technolegwyr a dylunwyr sydd â diddordeb mewn cwmpasu ffyrdd arloesol o ddatblygu e-decstilau synhwyraidd i'w defnyddio yng ngofal pobl â dementia cam hwyr. 

Hand i Pockets 
Mae Hand i Pockets yn fethodoleg ymchwil a ddatblygwyd gan Cathy mewn cydweithrediad â Dr Gail Kenning (UTS Awstralia). Mae'n cynnwys defnyddio gweithgareddau crefft creadigol gydag ymchwil gyfranogol gynhwysol, i ymgysylltu â rhan ddeiliaid a'r cyhoedd â themâu ymchwil sy'n ymwneud â dementia a heneiddio. Mae Hand i Pocket Funshops yn cael eu cynnal ledled y byd mewn lleoedd cymunedol cyhoeddus, amgueddfeydd a chartrefi gofal preswyl, mewn dull traws-genhedlaeth, sy'n anelu at wneud yr ymchwil yn hygyrch ac yn gynhwysol.
