Colorado computer platform 'Remember Stuff' aims to keep seniors engaged.
DURANGO, Colo. — Technology often moves too fast for our older loved ones to keep up. It can be overwhelming and isolating, especially if they're also dealing with memory loss or dementia. But, a Colorado business made waves at the 2023 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with its ground-breaking computer platform."It's just a lockdown screen, with calendars and all kinds of things on it," said Christine Mullholand, who founded the program.
"We will suggest that they do certain quizzes," said Mullholand about the user interaction."We'll suggest they read an article. Or, that they say something kind if they're in a nursing home to a staff member." "For people with dementia, they find that they can now do something on their own," said Mullholand."It just brings smiles. Then they can create things. And, now they feel like they had a sense of accomplishment."
"Whatever we can do to keep people in the game," said Mullholand."To keep them having purpose, to keep them engaged."
