Invoking dementia patients’memories

‘An exciting collection of ground-breaking display products is helping improve the lives of dementia patients in hospitals across the country’ – says Bradford-based New Vision Signs & Graphics, designer and installer of ‘innovative displays which help trigger memories for elderly patients, and improve the hospital environment’.

‘Picture This’ is an interchangeable slide frame system that shows images on corridors and in side wards. Designed to enhance recognition and awareness, it uses pictures ‘to invoke past memories’. ‘Kodak-style slide frames’, backlit with LED lighting, feature interchangeable images, and ‘work particularly well with bygone scenes and nostalgic visions of childhood’, while ‘Memory Boxes’, within which patients place a personal object they can recognise and remember, can be installed by their beds.
