Description

The aim of the project was to develop an intuitive and low-barrier app that supports people with cognitive impairments as well as elderly individuals in their daily lives — particularly in organizing and remembering important tasks such as taking medication.

Through a multisensory user experience, the app is designed to be not only easy to understand and navigate, but also seamlessly integrated into existing device ecosystems such as smartphones, smartwatches or televisions.

Individually tailored reminders — for example, through familiar voices or gentle notifications — help minimize cognitive load while simultaneously promoting a sense of independence and quality of life.
