Vivid-Pix Reminiscence Therapy Study on Alzheimer’s/Dementia
As part of their research on reducing loneliness and isolation that often leads to depression and dementia, Vivid-Pix is studying Photo Reminiscence Therapy (RT), which is the use of re-living memories through photos. Vivid-Pix, Tellegacy, Achi, CERTUS Institute and National Institute for Dementia Education have been jointly conducting the RT study that found senior residents who viewed photos versus those not viewing photos recalled events with more detail. Through RT, many seniors articulated exact facts, showing a strong recall to emotional/visual-based memory typically processed in the limbic system and secondary brain regions. Details on the full study will be released in fourth quarter of 2021.
“Halloween is for children of all ages. Reminiscing and Reconnecting is what pictures are all about,” said Voight. “Why do we take pictures? To capture a snapshot of life – to relive a memory tomorrow – to share memories with others. Vivid-Pix RESTORE software fixes virtually any image type, in one click – fine-tuned with easy controls. This ease of use makes it the perfect way for children of all ages to reminisce and reconnect with family and friends.”
