Simple Music Player enables seniors, even with significant cognitive decline, to listen to music from their formative years to engage their minds.Familiar music is widely recognized by healthcare professionals to improve cognizance (knowledge and awareness), lucidity (clarity of expression), promote independent living, increase self-esteem and therefore an improved quality of life.Extensive trials have verified that the simple Music Player operation is highly intuitive and does not require any prior knowledge or memory to start and stop the player.Once installed, the user operates the simple Music Player at will without any other requirement than to lift or lower the lid to start or stop the music. The only other control available for the user is a large button which skips to the next song when pressed.Pre-loaded with 40 Bing Bang hits, or a family member/caregiver drags and drops specific songs (MP3 format) and sets the volume level. 25-40 songs is often sufficient, but up to 1000 songs can be uploaded.When seniors or more occupied, caregivers have more time to do other things and even talk about their memories generated from listening to songs from their formative years.The gift of music made smpl. Problems…solved. The Simple Music Player is designed for people with Alzheimer's, dementia or related conditions. It has only three controls: lift the lid to start the music playing, push the big button for the next song, and close the lid to stop the music. Volume is controlled by hidden switches under the device, so users cannot accidentally make the music too soft or too loud. Playing music to people with dementia from their formative years vastly improves their cognizance and lucidity - the effects are dramatic, and are widely recognized by dementia and Alzheimer professionals. Research has confirmed both the benefits of providing people who have dementia with music they remember, and the need for easy operation that such people require. The restorative effect of music therapy vastly improves the quality of life at home, mental well-being, and promotes independent living rather than relying on institutional resources. The beneficial effects of music for people with dementia are quite outstanding; both for improving the quality of life, especially when living alone, and for its healthy restorative effects on cognizance and lucidity. A recurring problem however, has been the difficulties people with dementia face when trying to operate modern music playing equipment. Remembering how controls operate or manipulation of knobs, non-tactile buttons, and an array of confusing symbols all limit access to this well proved benefit.
