Announcing Our New Research Partnership with Niagara College’s Healthy Aging and Wellness Centre

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between Remember Media and the Healthy Aging and Wellness Centre at Niagara College, marking a significant step forward in our mission to support cognitive wellness and emotional connection through reminiscence therapy.

For the remainder of 2025, Niagara College will be providing critical academic and hands-on support to help us evaluate and refine the impact of our reminiscence therapy software in real-world settings. This collaboration brings together research, innovation, and community care in a meaningful and impactful way.

What This Partnership Includes

• Dedicated Research Leadership:
  A research lead from the Healthy Aging and Wellness Centre will oversee a formal study to evaluate the effects of reminiscence therapy using Remember Media's digital platform. This research will help quantify the emotional, cognitive, and social benefits of our tool, contributing to the growing body of evidence supporting therapeutic storytelling and memory recall for older adults.

• Project Coordination & Community Trials:
  Niagara College is also assigning a project lead who will help manage the deployment of our software in the community. Together, we will coordinate pilot programs with local trial partners—including retirement residences, community centers, and in-home care environments.

• Hands-on Involvement from Future Leaders in Care:
  Two senior students from the Recreation Therapy program will work directly with these community partners to implement our software and gather valuable feedback from users and care providers. This hands-on engagement ensures that our product is not only research-informed but also grounded in practical, compassionate care.

Why This Matters

At Remember Media, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect generations, foster meaningful engagement, and support emotional well-being—especially in older adults living with memory-related conditions. By teaming up with Niagara College’s Healthy Aging and Wellness Centre, we are aligning with leaders in gerontology, recreation therapy, and health innovation to ensure our platform remains evidence-based, user-centered, and truly impactful.

This partnership represents a strong vote of confidence in the work we’re doing—and we’re just getting started. The insights gained over the coming months will help us shape a more effective, inclusive, and accessible digital therapy tool, one that empowers care communities across the country and beyond.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We want to extend our gratitude to the faculty, students, and staff at Niagara College for their enthusiasm, professionalism, and shared vision. We’re honored to be working alongside such a forward-thinking institution dedicated to improving the lives of older adults.
