Problem
Individuals with memory loss, such as those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, face challenges in engaging with meaningful aspects of their lives and preserving personal memories. Traditional methods of memory care may not effectively facilitate interaction and reminiscence.
Solution
Jigsawdio provides a multisensory platform designed to help individuals with memory loss connect with their personal histories. The platform combines personalized acrylic jigsaw puzzles with a display frame that plays audio recordings linked to specific puzzle pieces. Users assemble custom image puzzles, and when specific pieces are placed on the frame, corresponding audio recordings narrate the image, creating a unique and engaging experience. The Jigsawdio frame can store audio files for up to 100 puzzles and seamlessly transfers sounds without internet or Bluetooth connection.
