Memory On Hand

A simple wrist based, tactile device that improves memory for people of all ages by helping them implement an empirically supported memory strategy called spaced retrieval. Our digital health solution, a simple wrist-based tactile device, aims to improve memory through a concept called spaced retrieval. Spaced retrieval helps the user retain information by recalling targeted information over increasingly long intervals. With Memory on Hand, the wearer simply presses a single button to initiate a schedule of tactile reminders for whenever they encounter information they think they may forget, such as the name of someone they had just met. Simply, our goal is to ultimately help you, the wearer, push small pieces of information from your short-term memory to longer term. With a free prototype available, we are ready to share our idea with the greater community and gain exposure for our innovative solution that could benefit older adults worried about memory.
