NIDE study on pRT shows significant improvement in dementia
The National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE) announced the results from the “Cognitive Benefits of Photo Reminiscence Therapy for Dementia Patients” research study, concluding that photo reminiscence therapy (pRT) can improve the quality of life for those living with dementia or related forms of memory impairment. Conducted by a coalition of organizations, including the NIDE, the CERTUS Institute, Vivid-Pix, Tellegacy, and Achi, the group studied the healing power of photos and concluded that pRT can minimise social isolation and improve medication compliance and general cognitive performance.
