REMIND
What if we could help awaken memories through music? Remind is a system for Alzheimer's patients.
Remind is a system for Alzheimer's patients and their families. Alzheimer's patients are connected with their families through a personalized music device and mobile application.
The device, a tangible music player, is used by the patient and managed by the family members or caregivers through the app. When the patient does not remember a face, a sound is used in place to "remind" the user and trigger memories. When the patient is alone, the device acts as a companion.
