Wellness is more than physical health
The University of Alberta feasibility study found that 94% of participants reported feeling happy after sessions, 91% felt motivated to listen and share, and participants who had never met were connecting within minutes.
Social connection
94.45% of participants agreed or strongly agreed they enjoyed sharing their memories with others. Conversations started before sessions began and continued long after they ended.
Cognitive engagement
Recalling personal memories through photos and storytelling exercises the brain in ways that feel natural and rewarding — not clinical or pressured.
Emotional wellness
Nearly half of participants reported feeling optimistic about the future often or very often. 59% said they could think clearly often or very often after engaging with the platform.
Family legacy
Home-use participants described the platform as a way for family members to truly understand their background — connecting relatives across three provinces through a single recorded memory.
Dignity and identity
The most important aspect of the sessions for participants was the opportunity to share their unique life stories and have them genuinely acknowledged by others.
Meaningful participation
91.43% of participants felt motivated to listen to others and share their own experiences. Even silent participation was described as valuable by caregivers.
This is not a clinical assessment. It is a prevention-minded wellness program that encourages engagement, connection, and story-sharing in a natural way — grounded in 60 years of reminiscence science and validated by the University of Alberta.
One of the people in our lodge had only been in the building three to four days… this was a great way to introduce them into the community that they were now living in.
