Today's society expects us to be able to plan and organise our everyday lives and coordinate our own time with others, this can lead to some individuals’ need of a digital support. Digital support can be an opportunity to give the individual greater independence and the ability to act. The purpose of the planned study is to find out how effective an interactive digital support with a reminder is for individuals with cognitive disabilities in improving their occupational performance, and in increasing their quality of life. The project has a randomised controlled trail design, with baseline assessment and follow-up after 2 and 6 months. Individuals with cognitive disabilities getting rehabilitation of occupational therapists in primary care will be included in the project.
The project will use a new digital support that provides support for people in remembering activities and planning their everyday life. This could result that the digitalisation of our everyday environment are being available to more groups in society.
RemindMe is a sub-project on the healthcare research programme "Supporting Self Care by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for older people with long term conditions".
