Scrapbooks: Biographical Digital Scrapbooks for People with Dementia

An old photograph displayed in a slideshow, with overlay text including a title, a description, and two buttons represented by a happy face and a sad face.
We developed a Web platform that supports the work of psychologists, streamlining the collection of relevant information about people with dementia and using this information as a starting point to perform reminiscence therapy, which involves watching slideshows with images, videos or music. A study, carried out in a real clinical environment, showed that the system was well accepted by psychologists, people with dementia and caregivers, and left indicators that Scrapbook can be truly useful for psychologists and can bring benefits in the level of apathy and ambulation.
