Support meaningful reminiscence for people living with dementia

ReelLife Conversations is a thoughtfully designed app created to support meaningful reminiscence between people living with dementia and those who support them.
Photos are paired with pre-prepared conversation ideas to encourage natural discussion about memories, people, places and experiences.
This may help conversation flow more naturally between two people and may reduce the pressure of finding the right thing to say. If a particular interaction causes an unexpected reaction, the app also includes a Comfort Photo feature with minimised screen clutter, which may help the user pause, reset, or move into a different conversation.
ReelLife Conversations is designed to support calm, structured engagement. Rather than avoiding conversation out of uncertainty, users are offered supportive conversation cues, and a simple visual experience intended to feel reassuring and accessible for people with cognitive impairment.

Designed to Support:
• Care professionals who may not yet know a person’s life story
• Family members who want more meaningful conversations
• Visitors who want to connect in a calm, supportive way

If faces or places are not recognised, the app offers pre-prepared alternative conversation ideas related to details in the image, and smoothly guides users to the next photo, helping maintain a natural flow.

Built on Established Principles, ReelLife Conversations is inspired by:
• Established reminiscence-based approaches
• Accessibility-focused design for cognitive changes
• Visual cueing to encourage emotionally meaningful conversation
• A focus on connection and shared experience
