Sparking Joy and Connections: How a Gaming App Enriches Lives of Those with Dementia [Video]

On this week’s episode of Health Futures, Taking Stock in You, Bruce Eliot joins us to discuss how Memory Lane Games aids in neurological engagement and monitoring, aligning with CMS’s dementia care initiatives to support caregivers and enhance patient lives. In 2019, Bruce Eliot and his friend, inspired by their aging mothers’ struggles with dementia, created Memory Lane Games, transforming old family photos into interactive games. Launched amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the app features simple, nostalgic image-based questions, fostering conversation and joy for users with dementia. With over 100,000 downloads and games played in over 100 countries, it has become a global success. Partnering with organizations like the Filipino National Alzheimer’s Association, it caters to diverse communities.
