• Calms, settles, and reassures users
• Addresses common symptoms like sundowning and wandering

Their Story
Memory Lane Games began with a simple idea. Founders Bruce Elliott and Peter Quayle were inspired by how their moms loved looking at old photos and reminiscing. This sparked the challenge to create games that trigger happy memories for people with dementia or cognitive decline.

“We focused on making games that are fun, frustration-free, and nostalgic. While the concept is simple, we worked closely with healthcare professionals to ensure the app delivers real benefits. The result is a tool that improves communication, happiness, and overall well-being for people with dementia, backed by science.” says Bruce.

In fact, a clinical trial with Hospice Isle of Man showed that the app not only improves the mood of people with dementia but also makes caregiving easier by fostering better communication.

Trusted by Experts and Care Providers Worldwide
Memory Lane Games has gained international attention from top healthcare professionals. In 2023, they were selected as one of only eight participants in the prestigious Mayo Clinic and ASU MedTech Accelerator. They were also semi-finalists in the UK Alzheimer’s Society Longitude Prize on Dementia.

The app is now used by care providers in over 100 countries, including the US, Canada, and the UK. Clinicians in the Philippines have even started prescribing it to support their patients.
