Alban Maino
Alban Maino is the founder of Memory Lane TV, a multi-sensory streaming platform built for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia. A noted Franco-American producer based in Portland, Maine, he began the work after his grandmother Rosette's diagnosis, when he found ordinary television was triggering her anxiety rather than easing it.
He has since produced more than 1,500 hours of therapeutic film — almost certainly the largest authored body of work of its kind. He is President of the Memory Lane Foundation, Honorary Consul of France in Maine, a 2024 Memory Care Innovation Award winner, and a 2025 Trophée Social Humanitaire laureate.
As Honorary Consul of France in Maine, Alban Maino represents French interests in the state and supports cultural and economic ties between France and Maine, under the authority of the Consulate General of France in Boston.

It Started with Rosette
When Alban Maino's grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he searched for something that would help her — and found the options were thin. Worse, the television meant to comfort her was doing the opposite: its plots, pace, and noise left her more anxious than before.
Maino is not a clinician. He is a producer and former vice president of the Institute of Life in Paris, a research think tank that started its work on Alzheimer's in 1982. So he read, for years, through published neuroscience and the long literature on sensory stimulation and memory and the importance of intergative approaches to manage symptoms.
Then he did the thing he actually knew how to do. He filmed. Slow footage. Gentle music. Reminiscence media through guided imagery and music. No plot to follow, nothing to lose track of. Rosette smiled. She relaxed. She found peace in the hours that had been hardest.
He has been filming and producing ever since. Memory Lane TV now holds more than 1,500 hours across 14 sensory collections, developed and refined in residential care settings across Europe and New England, grounded in more than five decades of neuroscience and sensory-stimulation research.
What Memory Lane TV Does
Where ordinary television asks a viewer to follow a plot, hold names in mind, and track a scene across time, Memory Lane TV asks nothing. It is a non-pharmaceutical, evidence-based tool that complements a care plan — never positioned as a treatment, cure, or replacement for medication.
