Memory Line – A Therapeutic Assistive Device for MCI Users

Memory Line is a therapeutic digital device designed to enhance memory recall, emotional well-being, and cognitive engagement for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Through Reminiscence Therapy (RT), it provides an intuitive way for users to revisit past experiences using organized photos and voice-recorded stories, fostering meaningful interactions with caregivers and loved ones.

A Personalized Cognitive Therapy Tool

Traditional reminiscence therapy relies on physical materials and guided sessions, limiting accessibility for independent users. Memory Line digitizes and enhances this process, offering:
• Dual-Mode Functionality: Users can organize personal photos and categorize them by timeline, then switch to auto-play mode to experience seamless memory recall.
• Voice Story Integration: Recorded narratives accompany each image, stimulating emotional connections and preserving personal histories.
• Tactile & Intuitive Interface: Designed for aging users, Memory Line features physical navigation buttons and a high-contrast screen, ensuring ease of use.

Designed for Accessibility & Emotional Engagement

With a focus on usability and inclusivity, Memory Line bridges technology and therapy, ensuring:
• Familiar Interaction: A non-intrusive digital frame format with simple, intuitive controls.
• Caregiver & Family Support: Remote photo uploads and shared memory features foster connection.
• Research-Backed Benefits: Studies show RT reduces depression and enhances cognitive engagement in MCI patients.

Innovating Cognitive Care

Memory Line transforms reminiscence therapy into a daily, accessible experience, empowering MCI users to relive their stories while fostering emotional and cognitive well-being. By integrating assistive technology with therapy, it reimagines the future of aging and memory care.
