In our earliest work we developed electronic memory aids that could be used to support memory, much as crutches can be prostheses for broken legs or sprained ankles. Recently, in recognition of the fact that individuals with cognitive impairments such as amnesia rely significantly upon the support of family, friends, and caregivers, we have explored the concept of memory aids as collaboration technology. Our goals have been more dependable performance, less frustration, and reduced family stress associated with appointments and errands.
