Decades after first hitting the airwaves, old advertising jingles have found a new purpose. “Jingle Therapy” from VML Puerto Rico aims to improve the lives of patients living with Alzheimer's.

As technology evolves and the boundaries of all media intersect among new and as yet unexplored frontiers, The Spanish Broadcasting System intends to exploit its proprietary content to improve people's life through music.
Juan Carlos Pederia
Digital Strategic Director, Spanish Broadcasting System
Studies indicate that Puerto Ricans have a higher propensity for Alzheimer's, making it the fourth-leading cause of death in people over 65. Studies have also shown music may improve common behavioral issues in the middle-stages of the disease.
Over decades, advertising jingles have earned a special place in Puerto Rico's collective memory. They are time stamps that have never been played again, compared to regular songs.
The Puerto Rican Alzheimer's Association partnered with SBS radio stations to use their 80-year old archive to identify the most famous advertising jingles, creating a palliative therapy that brings back memories and help ease symptoms of patients.
- 600 patients impacted during the first month
- After four Jingle Therapy sessions, patients showed a significant improvement in memory, orientation, depression and anxiety
- 12 nursing centers have adopted the therapy as part of their daily routine
