Can 麻豆社 archive help people with dementia?
A pilot study has found that using a specially curated selection of 麻豆社 programmes - called 麻豆社 Rem Arc - has helped people with dementia to communicate and prompted long term memories they didn't know they had.
Dr Norman Alm is an honorary research fellow at Dundee University and helped create the 麻豆社 Rem Arc.
He told Martha Kearney that by watching old TV programmes like Parkinson, old stories and personal memories could be stimulated, improving communication with carers and relatives, and their quality of life.
