Evidence
At Ayla, we believe care should always be grounded in evidence. Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is one of the most researched, proven, and widely adopted non-pharmacological interventions for people living with mild to moderate dementia. Ayla helps care teams deliver CST with consistency, confidence and measurable results.

What is CST and why does it matter?

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a structured, group-based approach proven to help people with mild to moderate dementia.
It supports:
Memory - by keeping the mind active
Mood - by boosting self-esteem and reducing isolation
Connection - by encouraging conversation and shared experiences
It's not just activities. It's a recognised therapy backed by NICE, the same organisation that approves medications. CST delays cognitive decline by 4-6 months - with no side effects.
Most care homes don't deliver CST, simply because they've never had the tools.
That's where Ayla comes in.

Ayla is the first digital platform designed specifically to help care teams deliver CST with consistent quality and measurable results. By embedding evidence-based practice into daily routines, Ayla ensures care homes can demonstrate high-quality, person-centred dementia care. Our results show this:

What people are saying about Ayla

“Some participants had real barriers to certain memories.
After Ayla sessions, a memory was triggered, the defensiveness dropped, the voice softened, and you could see a genuine emotional connection to the past.

I’d never heard these stories before Ayla.”

Anthony

Activities coordinator.

“Ayla is easy to navigate and gives you ideas of what activities you can do. It makes planning the sessions so much easier.”
‍
Data from an Age UK study confirms Ayla saves 50% of CST preparation time.

Vikki-Rose Hawkins

Dementia Lead, Age UK Tameside.

“Our partnership with the NHS Clinical Entrepreneurs Programme reaffirms our commitment to improving the lives of people affected by dementia through championing innovation.”

Ayla was selected by this partnership as an innovation to be supported.
