Medical Mysteries of Music 

This new tech uses music to help dementia patients

Alan Cross 1 Comment

As someone who has seen firsthand how music can calm and comfort people with dementia, I’m all for anything that will further this therapy.

The Music Memory Box has a Kickstarter program that can be filled with music, photographs and meaningful objects to help dementia patients remember things that have disappeared in the fog. I like it.

    What a great project! If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend the documentary Alive Inside which focuses on similar themes.
