Abstract

Memento is a product family for people living with dementia, consisting of a notebook with an integrated pen, and a smartwatch. The design is the result of an extensive cross-disciplinary, multi-national development process focusing on learning from existing strategies of remembering of people with dementia and their families. Memento aims to support the mastering of an active social life by giving an overview of the day and reinforcing participation in leisure activities. It also assists in everyday scenarios such as the handling of appointments and medication intake. The project is a pitch, a speculative proposition, serving as an adaptable and expandable design concept for further contributions to the quality of life, care and wellbeing of people living with dementia.
