  • KiVS - Modeling a Mobile Memory Aid System
    Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen (KiVS), 2020
    Co-Authors: Hendrik Schulze, Thomas Hoffmann, Andrei Voinikonis, Klaus Irmscher
    Abstract:

    The electronic Memory Aid system MEMOS was developed at Leipzig University to support patients with Memory disturbances. Starting from this application background MEMOS is designed as a distributed system where a central server component controls a special handheld computer, the Personal Memory Assistant (PMA), over a GSM or a GPRS cellular phone network. To guarantee a wide flexibility and adaptability of the system to concrete deployment scenario the structuring of the information which is generated by the system and processed by the PMA is an essential component of MEMOS. This paper describes the modeling of the central data structures and the consequences to the system architecture.

  • distributed processing of reminding tasks within the mobile Memory Aid system memos
    Ubiquitous Computing, 2005
    Co-Authors: Andrei Voinikonis, Klaus Irmscher, Hendrik Schulze
    Abstract:

    The mobile extensible Memory and orientation system (MEMOS) is a nomadic computing system designed to support patients with disturbances in the prospective Memory. The system consists of two parts which are loosely connected via general packet radio service (GPRS): a mobile electronic device [personal Memory assistant (PMA)] to remind the patient of important tasks and a base station that coordinates the activities of caregivers and notifies them about the result of the task execution. A major requirement of MEMOS is the autonomous operation of the PMA. This is accomplished by avoiding mobile transactions, the specification of temporal aspects in the task description, introduction of different states for tasks of the PMA and the base station and by splitting task and result management. Special extensible markup language (XML) based languages were developed for data exchange between the base station and the PMA to reflect the temporal aspects of the tasks and for logging the results of task execution.

  • ASSETS - MEMOS: an interactive assistive system for prospective Memory deficit compensation-architecture and functionality
    Proceedings of the ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibility - ASSETS '04, 2004
    Co-Authors: Hendrik Schulze
    Abstract:

    The Mobile Extensible Memory Aid System (MEMOS) is an electronic Memory Aid system which was developed to support patients with deficits in the prospective Memory after a brain injury. A special palmtop computer, the Personal Memory Assistant (PMA), reminds the patient of important tasks and supervises the patient's actions. The PMA communicates with a stationary care system via a bidirectional cellular radio connection (GPRS). MEMOS features structured interactive reminding impulses, a flexible task scheduling, integration of a heterogeneous group of caregivers and integration in the patient's everyday life. The bidirectional communication allows for reporting of critical situations back to a responsible care-giver, so MEMOS can be used even in a critical context. This paper describes the requirements for a Memory Aid system, the design and functionality of MEMOS as well as its application in the practical care of patients.

  • UMICS - Distributed task processing within the mobile Memory Aid system MEMOS
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004
    Co-Authors: Andrei Voinikonis, Klaus Irmscher, Hendrik Schulze
    Abstract:

    MEMOS is a nomadic computing system to support patients with disturbances in the prospective Memory. The system consists of two parts which are loosely connected via GPRS: a mobile electronic device (Personal Memory Assistant – PMA) to remind the patient of important tasks and a Base Station that coordinates the activities of caregivers and notifies them about the result of the task execution. A major requirement of MEMOS is the autonomous operation of the PMA. This is accomplished by avoiding mobile transactions, the specification of temporal aspects in the task description, introduction of different states for tasks of the PMA and the Base Station, and by splitting task and result management. Special XML based languages were developed for data exchange between Base Station and PMA to reflect the temporal aspects of the tasks and for logging the results of task execution.

  • technological Memory Aid use by people with acquired brain injury
    Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2017
    Co-Authors: Matthew Jamieson, Breda Cullen, Stephen Brewster, Marilyn Mcgeelennon, Jonathan Evans
    Abstract:

    Evans, Wilson, Needham, and Brentnall ( 2003 ) investigated Memory Aid use by people with acquired brain injury (ABI) and found little use of technological Memory Aids. The present study aims to investigate use of technological and other Memory Aids and strategies 10 years on, and investigate what predicts use. People with ABI and self-reported Memory impairments (n = 81) completed a survey containing a Memory Aid checklist, demographic questions and Memory questionnaires. Chi-square analysis showed that 10 of 18 Memory Aids and strategies were used by significantly more people in the current sample than in Evans et al. ( 2003 ). The most commonly used strategies were leaving things in noticeable places (86%) and mental retracing of steps (77%). The most commonly used Memory Aids were asking someone to remind you (78%), diaries (77%), lists (78%), and calendars (79%) and the most common technologies used were mobile phone reminders (38%) and alarms/timers (38%). Younger people who used more technology prior to their injury and who use more non-technological Memory Aids currently were more likely to use technology. Younger people who used more Memory Aids and strategies prior to their injury and who rated their Memory as poorer were more likely to use all types of Memory Aids and strategies.

  • a Memory Aid with remote communication preliminary findings
    Technology and Disability, 2006
    Co-Authors: Andrea Szymkowiak, Kenny Morrison, Peter Gregor, Elizabeth A Inglis, Praveen Shah, Jonathan Evans, Barbara A Wilson
    Abstract:

    Memory problems are often associated with ageing and are among the most common effects of brain injury. Such problems can severely disrupt daily life and put huge strain on family members and carers. Electronic devices have been used successfully to provide short and timely reminders to Memory-impaired individuals. We are currently developing an electronic Memory Aid that runs on a personal digital assistant. The system has the ability to enter data not only on the device itself, but also from other stations by means of mobile telephony. Users, carers or administrative staff can remotely enter device data, which creates flexibility of data entry and monitoring. This paper describes usability issues identified in the design of the Memory Aid interface and preliminary findings of the field trial in which the device is currently being tested.

  • usable technology challenges in designing a Memory Aid with current electronic devices
    Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2004
    Co-Authors: E A Inglis, Andrea Szymkowiak, Peter Gregor, Barbara A Wilson, Jonathan Evans, Alan F Newell, Nicolas Hine, Prveen Shah
    Abstract:

    Electronic devices such as personal digital assistants have been used successfully as Aids for people with Memory problems. However, limitations of currently available technology can create difficulties in the day-to-day use of such devices, particularly for Memory impaired and older users. These limitations are discussed in terms of both the software and hardware issues, and are set into the context of challenges raised in the current study, which is to design a new interactive Memory Aid. It is concluded that a specific, customisable software interface is needed to meet the dynamic requirements of the user groups. This would also go some way to compensate for the hardware limitations until available technology becomes more usable.

  • Issues surrounding the user-centred development of a new interactive Memory Aid
    Universal Access in the Information Society, 2003
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth A Inglis, Andrea Szymkowiak, Praveen Shah, P. Gregor, A.f. Newell, N. Hine, B.a. Wilson, Jonathan Evans
    Abstract:

    Memory problems are often associated with the ageing process and are one of the commonest effects of brain injury. Electronic Memory Aids have been successfully used as a compensatory approach to provide reminders to individuals with prospective Memory problems. This paper describes the usability issues surrounding the development of a new Memory Aid rendered on a personal digital assistant (PDA); in addition, it discusses the importance of a user-centred design process for the development of the Memory Aid and preliminary qualitative findings from interviews and focus groups of disabled or elderly users.

  • an audio based personal Memory Aid
    Ubiquitous Computing, 2004
    Co-Authors: Sunil Vemuri, Chris Schmandt, Walter Bender, Stefanie Tellex, Brad Lassey
    Abstract:

    We are developing a wearable device that attempts to alleviate some everyday Memory problems. The ”Memory prosthesis” records audio and contextual information from conversations and provides a suite of retrieval tools (on both the wearable and a personal computer) to help users access forgotten memories in a timely fashion. This paper describes the wearable device, the personal-computer-based retrieval tool, and their supporting technologies. Anecdotal observations based on real-world use and quantitative results based on a controlled Memory-retrieval task are reported. Finally, some social, legal, and design challenges of ubiquitous recording and remembering via a personal audio archive are discussed.
