Story

Story Mode presents a calm, guided sequence of photos and audio—ideal for reminiscence therapy and routine Memory Sessions. It's a great option when you want engagement without pressure or navigation.

What Story Mode Does

Story Mode plays content in a simple, guided flow. It can reinforce familiar faces and places, spark gentle conversation, and create a soothing rhythm that supports comfort.

  • Guided playback: fewer choices, less overwhelm
  • Familiar cues: photos and audio support recognition
  • Routine-friendly: easy to repeat day after day
  • Caregiver-ready: works for short visits or longer sessions

Best Times to Use Story Mode

  • Quiet moments when you want calm engagement
  • Family visits—watch together and share stories
  • Transitions (before meals, after appointments, bedtime routines)
  • Late-day routines when decision-making feels harder

How to Run a Story Session

1

Choose content

Select a Life Album (personal photos and voices) or a Feature Album (curated content for quick starts).

2

Start Story Mode

Let the session flow naturally. You can pause, repeat, or move forward as needed.

3

Follow the moment

If a memory sparks conversation, let it happen. If attention fades, keep it short and end positively.

4

Repeat favorites

Repetition can be comforting. Favorite stories often become reliable anchors during hard days.

Tips for a Better Story Experience

Use short voice notes

A familiar greeting or quick caption (“That’s your brother Bill”) can add warmth and recognition.

Keep the pace gentle

If attention is low, reduce choices and let the story flow. Switch to Auto Play if you want hands-free calm.

End on a positive note

Short sessions that finish well often work better than long sessions that become tiring.
