Pioneers in Photo Reminiscence Therapy: National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE) Standards of Excellence (SOE) Council, CERTUS Institute, Talem Home Care, & Vivid-Pix Conduct Comprehensive Study to Assist Aging Population and Caregivers
DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- The need for affordable, non-pharmacological age-tech to assist the growing, aging population and their caregivers took a leap forward in August as pioneers in Photo Reminiscence Therapy (pRT): the National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE)'s Standards of Excellence (SOE) Council, CERTUS Institute, and Vivid-Pix began their second research project in Colorado, Florida, and Wisconsin. Partnering with Talem Home Care & Placement Services, this study aims to further understand and improve brain health and therapeutic activities using treasured memories.
As described by the National Institutes of Health, "Reminiscence Therapy (RT) involves the discussion of past activities, events, and experiences with another person or group of people, usually with the aid of tangible prompts such as photographs, household items, and other familiar items from the past, music, and archive sound recordings." The team is conducting statistically significant research measuring the health and human benefits of Photo Reminiscence Therapy (pRT) across the dementia spectrum, from typical cognitive decline due to aging to more severe dementia. Utilizing NIDE's interactive prescribed procedures and Vivid-Pix Memory Stations, Talem and CERTUS caregivers and patients are employing photos, household items, and music to reminisce, connect, and share memories.

The results from this study will further the knowledge acquired through previous research conducted by the team in 2021 and published by NIDE, whose findings stated that, "…we conclude that the power of engaging with personal photos, matched with a high-quality care curriculum and living environment, may improve the quality of life for those with dementia by stimulating the brain and fostering neurogenesis as well as neuroplasticity."
