Problem

Early-stage dementia impairs daily task management and memory retention, threatening patients' independence and quality of life.

Challenge

How can we design an intuitive, multi-faceted system that supports dementia patients' independence in daily tasks while facilitating seamless caregiver communication?

Solution

An integrated IoT system featuring a user-friendly handheld device for multi-modal note-taking, a real-time updating display board for easy visualization, and a companion app for remote monitoring and communication.

Result

Received constructive feedback from a professional panel, demonstrating its potential to significantly impact dementia care while highlighting areas for future refinement and research.

Note.it Device

Simple, portable, and easy to use

The handheld device mimics a traditional sticky note, allowing users to write, record voice notes, and take pictures. With features like an on/off toggle, color selection, and mode switching, it helps individuals with dementia easily capture and organize reminders while promoting independence.

Note.it Board Display

Visual organization for better recall

This display board syncs with the handheld device in real-time, showing all notes clearly. Users can drag and organize notes by importance, providing a visual aid to support memory retention and task management.

Note.it Companion App

Support for users and caregivers

The mobile app acts as a centralized hub for managing notes, filtering by type and color, and receiving updates. Caregivers can access voice notes, receive notifications, and stay informed about the user's important reminders, all while respecting the user's independence.
