Abstract

Dementia is an uncurable neurodegenerative disease that leads to a gradual loss of cognitive capacities and negatively affects emotional state, quality of life, and ability to autonomously perform activities of daily living. Although pharmaceutical approaches can mitigate symptoms in people with dementia, their effect is still limited. Complementary approaches, such as music and reminiscence-related activities, have been proposed for stimulation purposes. Here we present the results of a pilot 14-session longitudinal study with an interactive platform called Musiquence, which allows the incorporation of music and reminiscence elements in cognitive stimulation activities, with 8 participants with dementia. In general, the results of the intervention show improvements in all the assessed domains: cognition, anxious and depressive symptomatology, functionality, and quality of life. Preliminary results appear to support the platform’s feasibility while providing positive outcomes of clinical efficacy.
