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.
