Memory Tracks: song-task association in dementia care, a preliminary study

Abstract

A multi-shareholder investigation into the effects of music to aid the day to day care of people living with dementia. Music builds long-term associative memories, often closely tied to emotions which can be more resilient to loss than other types of memory. Memory Tracks, a care platform can provides a personalised selection of music tailored to an individual dementia patient’s routine, their family and carers needs. The individualisation of music can also reduce the frequency of agitation in certain settings
