Let’s Begin…
Every three seconds, someone develops dementia, and half of us will be affected. But what if technology, instead of disconnecting us, could become the bridge back to those we’re losing?
When Memory Fades, Everything Changes
In living rooms across the globe, families are fighting an invisible war. Women remain underrepresented in medical research, leading to gaps in care, frequent misdiagnoses, and countless women left questioning their symptoms.
Today, over 57 million people around the world live with dementia, a number expected to soar to 139 million by 2050. Behind each statistic is a grandmother who no longer recognizes her grandchildren, a husband who forgets his wife’s name, and a mother who becomes frightened by her own reflection.
Dementia, including Alzheimer’s, Vascular, and Lewy body, is a progressive brain disease that unfolds in three stages. Early symptoms, such as forgetfulness, often go unnoticed. Over time, mood swings, daily confusion, and sundowning symptoms begin to develop. In the final stage, individuals lose speech and mobility and become entirely dependent on care partners.
The emotional toll is staggering. More than 15 million unpaid care partners in the U.S. face elevated stress, exhaustion, and serious health risks, yet many lack the training, education, and support they urgently need. Depression rates among care partners range from 40–50%. Families drain their savings.
Children watch their parents disappear before their eyes. A Stanford Medicine study found that 40% of Alzheimer’s caregivers die before the patient, overwhelmed by the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll of caregiving. Their mortality rate is 63% higher than non-caregivers.
But here’s what’s heartbreaking:we’ve had therapeutic solutions for decades, but they remained locked in expensive care facilities, available only to the privileged few.
When Netflix Meets Neuroscience
This is where Memory Lane TV transforms everything. Imagine Netflix, but instead of binge-watching, you’re bridge-building—creating pathways back to the people you love. Unlike traditional television, which is made for everyone, Memory Lane TV is made for people living with dementia by providing narrative-free sensory experiences, including features like:
* 1,200+ sensory films, no plot, across 14 curated collections
* Personalized by culture, language, and memory triggers
* Includes aromatherapy and multisensory support
* Free Care Partner Channel with 250+ expert resources
* Available 24/7, on any screen, anywhere
* Flexible plans for families and care settings
* It costs less than a coffee per month
Backed by decades of research, Memory Lane TV has partnered with prestigious institutions, including the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Mass General Hospital, where Professor Herbert Benson, a pioneer of the relaxation response, supervised the original pilot work.
Developed with neurologists, researchers, and families, the platform uses personalized sensory experiences, like virtual walks through the past or cooking shows that spark muscle memory, to preserve identity and calm the nervous system. These multisensory tools can reduce agitation by up to 60% and reignite memory, connection, and communication.”
Memory Lane TV helps ease depression, anxiety, and agitation for people living with dementia while supporting memory, connection, appetite, sleep, and engagement. Mary, who had been silent for weeks, began humming wartime melodies. A father with advanced Alzheimer’s calmed instantly after watching tailored nature scenes. These moments help loved ones reclaim their identity and reconnect while care partners get a glimpse of the person they have missed, even if just for a moment.

These aren’t just feel-good stories. This is evidence-based mind-body medicine delivered through a screen.
The Global Impact Memory Lane TV is Already Creating
Used in over 120 care settings, with 95% reporting a positive impact, Memory Lane TV is becoming a trusted therapeutic tool. In 4 out of 5 trials, mood and cognition improved within 4 to 6 weeks. Care partners save up to 7 hours a week, families reconnect, and staff see calmer, more engaged residents, many smiling for the first time in months.
Night-shift nurses watch residents sleep peacefully rather than wandering anxiously.
One memory care facility director wrote: “In 30 years of dementia care, I’ve never seen anything create such immediate, consistent calm. Residents who haven’t engaged in months are suddenly participating, smiling, and connecting.”
Over 90% of care partners reported positive experiences using sensory stimulation films for dementia care (Bjørnskov et al.). Dementia consultant Laura Herman shared, “I wasn’t sure about the quality, so I tried the free trial and was blown away by the effect of memory Lane TV, even on my nervous system.”
However, while we celebrate these victories, millions of other families are suffering in silence, unable to access the help they need.
The Dream That Keeps Us Awake
Every day, Alban Maino, founder of Memory Lane TV, receives messages from families in urgent need. A daughter in rural Kansas can’t afford the subscription to soothe her mother’s severe sundowning. A son in Mumbai wants to support his father, only to find the platform isn’t available in his region. A care facility in Detroit, serving primarily low-income residents, lacks the resources to provide access, despite recognising the potential impact it could have.
What if geography, income, and access weren’t barriers to dignity?
What if every family facing dementia—from Manhattan to rural Bangladesh—could access therapeutic content that honours their loved one’s humanity?
The Bold Vision: One Gift, Millions of Lives
Here’s what courage looks like: a single philanthropic gift that removes every paywall, every geographic restriction, and every economic barrier because every person deserves to be seen, valued, and comforted, especially when memory fades.
Imagine the global impact:
* 57 million people worldwide could access therapeutic content designed for their specific needs
* Family care partners in every corner of the world could find tools to create moments of connection
* Healthcare systems could reduce behavioral emergencies and improve quality of life at scale
* Communities could support their most vulnerable members with dignity and grace
* Global: 100% digital scalable and easy to distribute
The Invitation That Could Change Everything
Backed by 12 distribution networks, 10 years of research, 40 partners, 8 awards, and endorsements from leaders like UCLA and Naomi Feil, plus support from 8 funding angels, change is already underway.
In 2026, Memory Lane TV is partnering with Brown University to deliver clinical research-backed, AI-powered, personalized sensory content for dementia care designed to boost engagement, ease agitation, and adapt in real-time to mood, need, season, and time of day. The future of dementia care is already in motion while we wait for a cure.
What if your gift became the bridge between isolation and connection for millions?
The Call That Cannot Be Ignored
Memory Lane TV has built the technology to deliver five decades of multisensory research at scale; this evidence-based innovation demonstrates measurable impact in real-world dementia care and redefines the restoration of meaningful moments. This is your opportunity to be part of transformative change in dementia.
