- The paper presents an evaluation of an innovative low-cost approach to improving the wellbeing of people living with dementia that uses a mobile app to produce song activity association using reminiscence music. The research showed that memorable songs can cut through anxiety and provided Memory Tracks Ltd (gordon@memorytracks.co.uk) with evidence to support the product’s wider use. The paper has contributed to advocacy by nursing practitioners for the adoption of musical therapy interventions in care settings and features in news articles relating to the use of music to mitigate the effects of anxiety during the roll-out of the Covid vaccine.
