Memory Sessions

Memory Sessions

A Memory Session is a short, repeatable time of connection—built around familiar photos, voices, and stories. Sessions can be five minutes or thirty. The goal isn't “testing memory.” It's creating calm, engagement, and meaningful moments.

Memory Sessions are guided by reminiscence therapy and powered by four Memory Activities: Game, Story, Explore, and Auto Play.

  • Familiar cues: photos, voices, music, and everyday memories
