About us

Mnemo was created to rekindle memories and reconnect hearts. Co-founded by Theodore Chan and Lucas Choe, Mnemo was inspired by their shared experiences with grandparents facing the effects of aging and memory loss. Designed with the prioritization of ease of use, Mnemo provides a unique and sentimental approach to memory care by focusing on emotional connectivity and reminiscence therapy, enabling seniors and individuals with dementia to stay connected with their past and loved ones. The app has two main sides: one for seniors or individuals with dementia, and another for loved ones - family, friends, or caregivers. Through features like memory sharing, personalized reminders, and personalized cognitive exercises, Mnemo empowers users to stay connected while improving mental well-being. Our mission is to ensure that every memory lasts, leaving a meaningful impact on the lives of seniors, individuals with memory loss, and their families and caregivers.

What is Mnemo?

Mnemo is a mobile app designed to strengthen emotional connections for individuals with dementia and their loved ones through reminiscence therapy. By offering features such as memory sharing, personalized reminders, and personalized cognitive exercises, Mnemo helps seniors and those with memory loss stay connected to their past and the people who matter most. It also provides support for family members and caregivers, creating a meaningful experience for all involved.

How does Mnemo work?

Mnemo works by facilitating virtual connections and short, meaningful interactions. Through features like memory sharing, users can quickly send and receive photos, videos, and voice notes, helping to strengthen emotional bonds. Mnemo’s core functions revolve around reminiscence therapy, a new method shown to improve cognitive ability and quality of life for seniors and those with dementia. According to established sources like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Elder Care Alliance, reminiscence therapy helps seniors and individuals with memory loss engage with past experiences, promoting better mental health and emotional well-being. By combining these two approaches, Mnemo enhances both emotional connectivity and cognitive support.
