MEMORY-AID CLOCK APPLICATION
Below is new of a new free application written to help those suffering
with memory related illnesses. It is based on a freeware Personal
Organizer application called In My Diary that has been in development
since 2011. I believe it now has users reaching into the thousands in
this country and abroad. The introduction of the Memory-Aid clock is a
new development and I am keen to make it known to interested parties and
organisations who are closely involved in supporting victims of dementia
and their families.
The base Diary program runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux (Desktop or
Laptop computers - not tablets or mobiles etc.) and has the look of a
traditional paper diary so carers would I am sure find it
straightforward to add details as required to show daily events,
anniversaries, special days (Christmas etc.). This data then becomes
the source feeding the new 'front-end' display offering 24/7 day, date
and time, easily customised personal reassurance and reminders.
This works using a combination of always-on-screen reassurances and
pop-up reminder messages that display for a pre-arranged length of time.
I am very aware of the debilitating nature of this type of illness; it
has affected my immediate family, and this development of the program is
an attempt to try to offer some support.
With the ability to buy cheap used laptops from online auction and sales
outlets, it is my hope that, for a very small outlet to buy the laptop,
and this free software, sufferers can be helped in a way that best suits
their needs. The home page of In My Diary is http://www.inmydiary.co.uk
with specific details about the clock at
