Mnemonics are a way to improve ones memory using special structures and designs which bring back the memory from the unconscious. Mnemonics could be abbreviations that help you remember a long phrase or a picture that brings back to mind a complicated theory. Mnemonics can have a tremendous therapeutic effect on those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

Ming Kiang Tan has designed the Mnemonic device which can strap around the wrist. It helps patients stay in touch with reality as it reminds them of things that are important during an everyday life. The display would always be at the top thanks to the accelerometer. The device gives the patient instructions and advices as to what must be done next.

This would help the affected people to age gracefully and be more independent. It would also boost their self confidence and self esteem which is very important in such degenerative conditions. It is still a concept and you ay need to contact the designer for more information.
