Electronic Memory Support System (eMSS): An Innovative Digital Calendar and Training Program for Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment
To respond to the everyday planning needs of individuals with MCI in a digital age, an eMSS was developed, drawing on a clinically trialed hardcopy version (MSS). Positive feedback from MSS trainers and patients with MCI and their partners suggests promise for the overall design. Improvements for the next iteration include designing cues to help users know actions have been completed or when to attend to important information, as well as providing more fulsome information on pages to support awareness of daily tasks.
