LifeBio Memory: Development of a Reminiscence Therapy Online Platform With Machine Learning to Increase Engagement

Sponsor: George Mason University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

LifeBioMEMORY (LBM) is a reminiscence therapy (RT) mobile application that captures older adults' life stories in their own voices to promote social engagement and psychosocial well-being. This study will develop and evaluate an enhanced multilingual LBM app for community-dwelling, diverse older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or at risk of MCI and their informal caregivers, including Hispanic/Latino, Asian American (as one of subgroups, Korean), Black or African American, and non-Hispanic White populations. The app provides culturally tailored life story prompts with audio and visual cues to encourage reminiscence and storytelling. The intervention aims to improve quality of life, reduce depressive symptoms and loneliness, and strengthen caregiver-care recipient relationships, with the potential to provide an accessible, non-pharmacological approach to supporting cognitive and emotional well-being.

LifeBio Memory (LBM) digital reminiscence intervention

LifeBioMEMORY (LBM) is a multilingual digital reminiscence therapy platform that guides older adults through life story sharing using culturally relevant prompts, photos, and voice recording in Spanish, Korean, or English. The app includes "My Story" and "Fun Things to Do" features to support reminiscence and engagement while capturing personal narratives. Using machine learning, LBM generates personalized Life Story Books and summaries in the preferred language of the older adult and informal caregiver, with electronic and printed copies available. The intervention is designed to promote social engagement, strengthen caregiver relationships, and support person-centered care.
