A daughter of a mom with Alzheimer's published a 181-page dementia workbook

A 181-page activity workbook for people with memory loss and their carers, with AI-made exercise images and 14 QR-code music playlists.

This creator came to the program with something personal: a mom with Alzheimer's. They turned that experience into a 181-page workbook built to create more happy moments and connection for seniors with memory loss and the people who support them. It shows how new AI skills can help someone carry a deeply personal idea all the way to a finished, published book.

The Happy & Helpful Workbook of Senior Activities for Dementia, Alzheimer's & Memory Loss

Before

They knew memory loss from the inside, through their own mom. They wanted to help seniors with mild to moderate memory loss, and the people caring for them, find more joy and engagement. But a full workbook with research, illustrated exercises, colouring pages and music was a lot for one person to make.

“Coming from having a mom with Alzheimer’s, this workbook, “The Happy & Helpful Workbook of Senior Activities for Dementia, Alzheimer’s & Memory Loss” to help those with mild to moderate memory loss and those who support them.”

In their own words

The turning point

A session with Domenic introduced them to tools like Sora and PoseMyArt, which unlocked a whole section of illustrated senior exercises. They learned to prompt ChatGPT with their research, context and tone, then check every line so nothing false slipped in. They even connected ChatGPT to Spotify so playlists were built directly, leaving only their own final touches.

“I would have not been able to create this section with AI images without that session with Domenic that introduced these tools.”

In their own words

After

They published a 181-page workbook, assembled in Canva, with activities, carer advice, colouring pages from Ideogram and Sora, and 14 Spotify playlists reached by QR code. They had it reviewed by a memory care professional and reshaped exercises from that input. Now they are using ChatGPT to explore how the book could grow into a broader effort to support seniors and carers.

What it lets people do

Seniors with mild to moderate memory loss get activities, gentle exercises, colouring pages and familiar music that can lift mood and spark memory. Carers get practical advice and ready-made ways to share happy moments and connection.

What they learned

They learned that AI works best as a co-creator, not a replacement: research it, cross-check it, and keep your own voice in the copy. Pairing the tools with real expertise, from their own experience to a memory care professional, is what made the book trustworthy.

“Familiar music can really help with mood and memory.”

Coming from having a mom with Alzheimer’s, this workbook, “The Happy & Helpful Workbook of Senior Activities for Dementia, Alzheimer’s & Memory Loss” to help those with mild to moderate memory loss and those who support them. The goal is to help support these seniors and those supporting them to help create more happy moments, joy, connection or engagement in a very helpful way. Here’s the link to the book on Amazon. Total # pages -181. https://mybook.to/SeniorDementiaWorkbook This was co-created with AI, including: - Chat GPT to help me research helpful activities for those with memory loss and also advice for care givers to include in the book. I combined what I found with my own ideas based on my own experience. I cross-referenced the ideas with my own deeper research and to secure sources. - Sora to create instructional images for senior exercise, aided by PoseMyArt to capture the right poses. I would have not been able to create this section with AI images without that session with Domenic that introduced these tools. I used AI and then pulled them into Canva to add the arrows and complete the images. - Chat GPT to co-write the copy for the introduction of each section of the workbook and some of the introduction pages of the book. I promoted Chat GPT with the research I was referencing and the context, including tone and purpose of the project. I made sure the copy was in the tone I wanted and was not hallucinating or putting false information out. I did try is section by section for the book intro. I also went in and wrote some of my own copy to make sure the book fully reflected what I wanted to say, but AI helped tremendously. - Ideogram and sora to create coloring book pages. - I also created 14 Spotify playlists that can be played via QR code. Familiar music can really help with mood and memory. I created the list together with Chat GPT by prompting Chat with the type of music I was looking for for each list. I connected Chat GPT to Spotify so that the playlist was then created directly in Spotify, eliminating my search and recreate the list manually. I then only had to make my own manual modifications. - Canva to put the entire workbook together. - I consulted with a professional in memory care to get human, expert review of the book and provide me input that I used to shape and reshape some of the exercises. I also hired a professional graphic artist for the cover design. While I could have done this on my own I wanted the cover to look as professional as possible since I am selling the book. - I prompted Chat GPT to help create the sales page and enhanced content for Amazon. - I also prompted Chat GPT (per Domenic’s recent lesson) to come up with ideas of how I can expand this book into a broader business to help support seniors with memory loss and those supporting them to help create more happy moments, joy, connection or engagement in a very helpful way.
