In Mind Palace’s VR sessions, patients' memories are triggered about what happened in their past, which can be astonishingly heartwarming.

Founder’s Story

The idea of Mind Palace come up after Founder Eugene Soh took his VR goggles to provide the experience for the residents in the nursing home, yet, the interface was not optimized for the targeted objectives. Such limitation irked him to solve this problem by developing the app. In addition, there will be a growing aging population in the next future. Hence, Eugene Soh is started to think about such a solution for himself. Therefore, Mind Palace, as a non-profit start-up, was established in September 2018. It is aiming to relieve the stress of patients and caretakers. It has actively formulated novel ways to access and exercise dementia patients' memories by utilizing virtual reality.
