Forget Me Not
Movie buffs may recollect The Memento where the protagonist suffers from anterograde amnesia and tattoos himself with notes or keeps taking pictures of the things to do, in a constant bid to survive each day. Real life is not as dramatic and memory loss patients, especially Alzheimer’s, need something more passive and practical. The Mnemonic is the kinda device that will help an Alzheimer patient to be more independent by being the constant companion that reminds them about the little things in life.
The wrist wrap features a built-in accelerometer which ensures the display is always on the top. You can set reminders and instructions on this for the patient to follow from time to time.

Um, what if they can’t remember to touch the screen to shut it off?

I believe if something is bothering you, like the alarm or vibration, a natural reaction qould be to touch it, even if it is to take it off. Anyways, I think alzheimer patients maintain simple and old abilities – such as turning off an alarm clock – untill an advanced stage of the disease. Anyone knows that for sure?

Ditto, these concepts are getting too common. Johnny would be disappointed.
