Ticket to Talk

Ticket to Talk hopes to encourage conversation between younger people and grandparents, friends or people they care for who are experiencing dementia. The app is designed to help collect and curate digital media (”tickets”) to be used to prompt and stimulate talk, conversation and reminiscence between younger people and those they are close to with dementia.

Use Ticket to Talk to create a profile for a relative or friend with dementia. After this you can then collect pictures, sounds, and videos, which you can attach to this profile. Once you have a collection of tickets you can use these with your friend or relative to help overcome conversational gaps as they arise.

With Ticket to Talk you can invite other family members, friends, and professional carers to join you in creating and sharing tickets. This means that anyone you have invited can use the same tickets in conversation with your older relative or friend with dementia to help make future social occasions more fun and engaging.
