This page is for doctors, journalists and careful families. Every claim carries its source and its year. No conclusion here is stronger than the paper it comes from, and one paragraph below says plainly what we do not claim.
Oramemory’s daily programme organises sleep, movement, meals, music and social contact into a gentle routine. Each of those elements comes from a trial or a large study. Here is each one, what it found, and what we took from it.
A structured, multi-part lifestyle programme did more for cognition in older adults at risk than self-guided advice they had to follow on their own.
What we took from it: structure matters more than information. Oramemory turns the routine into a daily plan the whole family can see, not a list of tips.
In the group at higher risk of cognitive decline, treating hearing loss with hearing aids and support slowed decline over three years.
What we took from it: the guide asks about hearing early, and the doctor summary flags it when it has not been checked.
Personalised music, the songs a person loved when they were young, reduced antipsychotic use and aggressive behaviour in care homes.
What we took from it: her music is one large button in her space, and the first thing the calm routine reaches for in the evening.
Families given structured care navigation, a plan, a person to call, and coordination between everyone involved, saw lower medical costs and less strain on caregivers.
What we took from it: the circle, the shared log and the guide are care navigation, built for a family instead of a clinic.
Oramemory never tests her memory. Screening is a clinician’s job, and a daily quiz is a daily reminder of what is being lost.
Nothing is tracked unless she or her legal representative switches it on, and the app never uses the word tracking with her.
No points, no scores, no streaks. Nobody around this disease needs to be told they missed a day.
We do not diagnose, predict, treat or claim to slow anything. The guide helps you act in the moment. Medicine is your doctor’s.
In 2027 we intend to study Oramemory with a clinical partner: whether a shared record and a guide written for the moment reduce caregiver strain, and whether the person’s own space is used, and welcomed, by the people it is built for. We will publish what we find, whatever it says.
Oramemory is a wellbeing and organisation tool. It does not diagnose, treat, prevent or slow any disease.
