Project Outcomes
Market Gap
Through our research, we found that there was a lack of emphasis on memory-making between the terminally ill and their family members towards the end of life. Instead, services are often targeted towards helping families after a loved one’s diagnosis or targeted towards reducing burnout in caregivers. Additionally, it was found that many family caregivers experienced regret when recalling how they could have better cherished their time with their loved ones.

Project Rememory
Project Rememory hopes to bridge this gap by better preparing these caregivers for their loved one’s likely demise. Thus, allowing them to spend quality time creating memories together while elevating the patient’s quality of life when approaching end-of-life.

Objectives of Rememory
-
Aims to help family caregivers (i.e. parents) whose loved ones are in palliative care create tangible and long-lasting memories through activity-based workshops.
-
Allow families to focus on present life and the “good times” through our conversation cards.
Social Impact
To have at least 80% of participating caregivers express that they enjoyed the making process
​
To reach out to at least 10% (5) of caregivers in HCA Hospice Care under Star PALS.
Business Targets
As Project Rememory is an industry project that focuses on creating social impact in collaboration with HCA Hospice, our partner, no revenue is expected to be generated and funding will solely be based on sponsorship from our partner.
Achievements
Instead of a post-session survey, we will be receiving reviews in the form of testimonials. This will allow for more qualitative responses and review on their experience doing the activities.
100%
of our participating caregivers enjoyed the workshop and expressed that they had a good time.
80%
of families participated in our workshops. Although 5 families had expressed interest in our activities, 1 of the clients ultimately decided not to engage with us.
