Clinical Evidence
One in 25 Australians will experience a memory impairment as a result of a neurological disorder such as stroke, epilepsy, head injury, autoimmune disease, brain tumour or infection. Memory rehabilitation has the ability to improve functioning in many of these non-dementia conditions. One manualised, group-based program, ‘Making the Most of Your Memory’ (Radford et al. 2010), has been shown to improve everyday memory in these types of patients even years after the onset of their disorder. As a result of the program, patients were able to increase the number of memory strategies used in their daily lives, meet their memory related goals, and expand their anterograde memory capacity.

About Us
MEMO is an interactive telehealth platform based on the making the Most of Your Memory program. In this program, the clinicians would run face to face sessions with patient groups to equip them with memory strategies. As a result of the program, patients were able to meet their memory related goals, expand their memory capacity and live a more independent and confident life.
Due to the recent pandemic, clinicians and patients are restricted from holding face-to-face meetings and many clinicians are now running rehabilitation programs online using video conferencing software (i.e., telehealth) which have proven to be just as effective as their face-to-face counterparts. While successful, many Telehealth interventions do not take advantage of the full gamut of digital tools available to supplement rehabilitation. In the digital age, we can do better!
Our company aims to develop an online memory rehabilitation platform, called MEMO (Making Everyday Memory Optimal), to benefit patients and clinicians. This program will provide a dedicated video-conferencing platform for supported, weekly group-based interactions, pre-session educational videos as well as engaging, strategy centred exercises with feedback to enhance improvements in everyday memory. Through collaboration with patients and clinicians, our aim is to redesign what rehabilitation looks like and use technology to bring memory rehabilitation into the digital age.
