Try VRENI for 3 months
You or a relative living with dementia will receive VRENI for three months to try it out. I will personally support the start and remain available throughout the testing period. This reward is for people who do not only want to try VRENI, but really want to see how it fits into everyday life.

You make a test possible
With your contribution, you give a family three months of VRENI that they otherwise could not afford. I select a suitable family from my waiting network, personally accompany the use, and then write to you about what this person experienced, what worked, and what we learned from it.

About the Initiators

Zürich

Als meine Grossmutter erste Anzeichen von Demenz zeigte, wurde mir bewusst, wie wertvoll Erinnerungen, Nähe und gemeinsame Momente sind. Diese Erfahrung hat mich tief bewegt. Im Rahmen meiner Bachelor-Arbeit an der ZHdK entstand daraus der Wunsch, mit VRENI etwas zu schaffen, das Menschen mit Demenz und ihre Angehörigen liebevoll begleitet.
