Our team is volunteering time this weekend to solve one of the fundamental challenges of individuals with cognitive impairment--loss of the ability to plan and multitask. Although there are many free and paid scheduling apps, they do not have the machine learning, UX/UI and feature functionality needed for this underserved population. We took a data set collected at the Palo Alto VA and created an app prototype for further data collection.
Me+ replaces some of this loss of executive function by allowing users to easily enter tasks, recommends associated tasks and then automatically adjusts schedules if tasks shift timing. For example, Mike has a weekly appointment at the VA and needs to schedule a paratransit service. If either his appointment or ride runs late, Me+ adjusts his schedule automatically. Mike feels proud that he can more be more independent. His wife is happy that she no longer has to nag him and his doctors is delighted by fewer missed appointments.
We look forward to testing our prototype and expanding indications beyond TBI to help as many patients as possible.
