The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a digital reminiscence therapy (DRT) intervention for people with dementia (PwD). The objectives of this study include:

1. To determine whether DTR can be delivered as planned in the care of PwD in Jordanian care homes.
2. To determine whether DTR is acceptable/tolerable to PwD and care home staff in Jordanian care homes
3. To identify the most appropriate outcome measures to evaluate the delivery of DRT to PwD in Jordanian care homes to be used in a subsequent definitive trial.

Reminiscence Therapy has been shown to be beneficial for people with dementia. The aim of this research is to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a digital application to aid reminiscence for people with dementia.

This study proposes to design an application, based upon reminiscence therapy, which can act as storage for personal and communal 'positive memories' in a range of media types. This includes pictures, videos and audio.

The target for this application is people with dementia and their staff caregivers. The study aims to recruit 40-50 participants (40 PwD and 10 staff caregivers). This research will look at the requirements for developing and evaluating a mobile application to see whether it might be used to aid reminiscence for people with dementia. Additionally, this research will ensure whether this digital reminiscence therapy can be delivered and accepted as planned in the care of people with dementia in Jordanian care homes. The acceptance of this digital reminiscence therapy will be assessed by using semi-structured interviews with approximately 15 people with dementia and staff care-givers. Quantitative measures will be used before and after the intervention to explore whether certain outcomes are sensitive to change. These outcomes include memory, communication, anxiety, depression, and quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria:

• People who have been clinically diagnosed with dementia determined by psychiatrist in the selected care homes. The diagnosis will be recorded in their care home notes.
• People who are residents in the designated care home and they are anticipated to be resident in the care home for the coming year.
• People who have the capacity to understand and consent to participate in the study (including those who can consent in the moment), OR they will have a consultee who can be approached for their assent if they are not able to consent in the moment but meet the eligibility criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:

• People who are deemed too unwell to participate determined by care home staff.
• People with a diagnosis of an additional psychiatric disorder other that those identified in the inclusion criteria (e.g. schizophrenia, MDD) determined by care home staff.
