Mem­o­ry­Se­nior earns pos­i­tive cus­tomer feed­back fol­low­ing suc­cess­ful 6‑month pilot

A Mem­o­ry­Se­nior appli­ca­tion devel­oped by MoMoMe Heat under­went a pilot that led to many pos­i­tive inter­ac­tions and shared moments in every­day life.

The exer­cis­es stim­u­lat­ed mem­o­ries, con­ver­sa­tion, and expe­ri­ences of suc­cess, and for many res­i­dents, the appli­ca­tion pro­vid­ed a safe and clear way to par­tic­i­pate in activ­i­ties. From the staff’s per­spec­tive, the appli­ca­tion was easy to use and offered clear, ready-made con­tent with­out the need for sep­a­rate prepa­ra­tion, mak­ing it eas­i­er to use even in a busy dai­ly rou­tine. The appli­ca­tion also worked nat­u­ral­ly as a con­ver­sa­tion starter and as a stim­u­lus in group sit­u­a­tions.

Mem­o­ry­Se­nior was also a sig­nif­i­cant sup­port in assess­ment work. The application’s exer­cis­es pro­vid­ed con­crete obser­va­tion sit­u­a­tions for exam­in­ing mem­o­ry func­tions, con­cen­tra­tion, and every­day func­tion­al abil­i­ty. Obser­va­tions from the pilot period’s RAI assess­ments showed that cog­ni­tive domains remained sta­ble, which is itself a pos­i­tive out­come for many clients. In addi­tion, clear pos­i­tive devel­op­ment was seen in areas of dai­ly func­tion­ing and mood. The use of the appli­ca­tion sup­port­ed clients’ activ­i­ty, pro­vid­ed expe­ri­ences of suc­cess, and increased inter­ac­tion, which was reflect­ed pos­i­tive­ly in every­day life. The visu­al­ly clear and eas­i­ly approach­able tasks were also well-suit­ed for indi­vid­u­als with cog­ni­tive chal­lenges when the exer­cis­es were select­ed indi­vid­u­al­ly. Many clients appre­ci­at­ed that the tasks were short, clear, and easy to under­stand.

Over­all, Mem­o­ry­Se­nior proved to be an effec­tive tool that sup­ports even a busy dai­ly rou­tine and serves both clients and staff. Based on the pilot peri­od, the con­clu­sion was that Mem­o­ry­Se­nior is par­tic­u­lar­ly suit­able for com­mu­nal liv­ing envi­ron­ments and home-based ser­vices.
