Related Research Studies Observations:
"Participants produced a life-story book based on one-to-one life review sessions. Significant improvements in depression, communication, positive mood and cognition were reported...found significant improvements in autobiographical memory and depression."
“Depression was significantly decreased while engagement was significantly increased. Digital Reminiscence therapy proved an innovative approach to manage persons with dementia and thus help persons with dementia achieve a better mood and have more opportunities to engage in social interactions.”
“Participants, relatives, and care home staff viewed digital life storybooks as a positive experience; a very useful tool triggering memories. Participants showed improvement or stability in depression scores, were stimulated, experienced feelings of enjoyment, pleasure, and felt “excited” when watching.
It helped care staff see this as person-centered care while more learning about their client and seeing them as a person and to value their experience.”
