The trial hopes to prove the app will improve dementia sufferers quality of life
Mobile phone app developer Memory Lane Games have built an app to improve quality of life of dementia sufferers but also their families.
Designed and built by Bruce Elliot and Peter Quayle who's mother suffers from vascular dementia, the Memory Lane Games app has already been approved for prescription in the Philippines.
The app displays photos of famous landmarks and the local area the person is from. It then gives multiple choice answers for the dementia sufferer and their family to play together and discuss.
In order to have new medicine or tools approved for use in the medical field and for prescription, they must first undergo what's known as a clinical trial which are often extremely expensive, complex and lengthy processes.
They are however, the only way to push a new drug or system onto the market in the UK.
Co-founder and programmer of the Memory Lane Games app Peter Quayle says they do need more people involved in the trial to stand a chance at the app becoming a tool prescribed by doctors in the Isle of Man and Europe.
