I like the concept, especially the mission of it. A couple notes, you can now check to see if the person has Spotify and do a quick bounce back between apps so they don't need to login inside of Safari to Spotify. Do you think this might be a better Messenger / bot app? If the point is to provide a friendly experience while making one playlist, you can make a stripped down version inside a chat interface to gain information and quickly export to Spotify. Other than those nits, solid work!
A short description of what the app does:
Gramophone connects a loved one who is suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia with memories from the past by generating a personalized playlist based on their date of birth and country of origin.
Music has been widely recognized to have a therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's patients. Several scientific studies indicate that when patients are exposed to music they used to love, especially between the ages of 13 to 25, this reduces stress, anxiety, and can even improve recall of personal history.
If you have any questions and/or comments. Please let me know!

Awesome concept! Music can trigger so many memories so it's great to see someone utilise it technologically for a great cause!

I love this. So many new studies show period-specific music bring people with severe dementia related illnesses back to some semblance of themselves. The cognitive self may be gone but the emotional self is not. I see a huge future for this as the experience becomes more immersive and even might allow others to join the patient "back in time." Well done. Go go go!
