Reminu (reminisce about you) was inspired by our extensive work in preventative health and wellbeing for older people, and specifically by a project with people with lived experience of dementia and their carers.

Reminu is currently at advanced prototype stage and is commencing testing with older people with different lived experiences, with groups provided by, and content informed by, organisations dedicated to each user group.

Imagine an online service that helps you create albums that capture your past, your present and things for your future.  Reminu creates an online album without the clutter and concerns of social media, and guides you with topics and prompts and does all the techy stuff while you just focus on capturing and telling stories, memories and messages for now and the future. You can create it yourself or with others, and share it on your terms.

We know that connection and self-determination are key to our health and wellbeing, and countless studies are proving this for all ages – but especially for older people. Experts across a wide range of health, wellbeing and ageing arenas tell us Reminu will increase quality of life, grow connection and even help manage the impact of degenerative disease. But it’s also for celebrating and remembering things we care about, bringing joy and happiness. 

Reminu is designed to be different things to different people.

For some people it’s different things for different parts and times of life – personal, family, community, and even education and work.

• It can be used therapeutically or for leisure. 
• It enables meaningful connection, self-determination, celebration and remembrance. 
• It guides and prompts users to digitally capture memories, experiences and hopes and needs for themselves and the people they care about.
• It’s online and private but shareable, with every page only viewed by those whom users choose to view it.
• It does what static and analogue albums don’t, capturing video, audio and other digital benefits like digital tagging, AI transcripts and more.
• It all lives in organised and searchable albums on the web with all the digital work done behind the scenes.
• It’s safely stored forever on the cloud and is used individually or in collaboration with family, friends or carers – in person or remotely.
• The specific guided journeys are the key, crafted in conjunction with experts in different fields and customisable to each person’s needs and wants.
• You can create from scratch as well – building your own plan first, or building an album as you go.
• Most importantly, each and every page of your albums are privacy controlled by you, and shared securely with only those you choose.
