Studies by the American Alzheimer Foundation have shown that music improves memory and helps us remember things that are far away. About 855,000 people in France are affected by this disease which consumes memory and sometimes leads to dementia.

 ReMind, mp3 for the 3rdme age 

The principle ? Associate a piece of music with a person. Mp3 works with an application smartphone, at each visit you can remotely launch the piece of music associated with you : a wedding march for a spouse, a special song for a child or a grandchild.

This process helps people with Alzheimer's disease to remember longest of his own identity but also that of his family members. If unfortunately the patient cannot remember, the music “at least helps him to calm down reducing stress ”.But its function does not stop there, when the patient is alone, the mp3 also serves as a companion to remember a time, or even a year by playing a song or music of the time.

A project that appeals but …

"ReMind" received 1 award, the Core 77 social Impact and was finalist for the IxDA (Interaction Design Association).

We do not have more information about this beautiful accessory which for an instant, the time of a song could revive Alzheimer's patients a memory of a better life. Hopefully this project will not be forgotten or frozen in concept status, but that it will develop and commercialize one day.
