Memory Maker

Memory Maker is an app designed to support Alzheimer’s patients with games and reminders while providing caretakers with patient insights and progress tracking.

About the Project

Memory Maker is a UX design project aimed at enhancing the daily lives of individuals with Alzheimer’s through an intuitive and supportive mobile application. The app provides interactive cognitive games designed to stimulate memory, reminders for important tasks such as medication and appointments, and a caretaker mode that allows family members or healthcare providers to monitor patient progress and well-being.

The interface is designed with accessibility and simplicity in mind, featuring large buttons, high-contrast text, and a calming color palette to reduce cognitive strain. Users can engage in personalized activities tailored to their cognitive abilities, while caretakers receive real-time updates and insights into the user’s interactions. By combining functionality with a user-friendly experience, Memory Maker helps patients maintain independence while offering caregivers peace of mind.

Problem

Ensuring Simple Navigation for Alzheimer’s Patients

Alzheimer’s patients may struggle with navigating digital interfaces due to cognitive decline, making it difficult for them to use the app independently.

Helping Patients Understand App Functions

Users may have trouble understanding what each feature does, leading to frustration or abandonment of the app.

Supporting Memory Recall Through Interaction

Patients may forget how to use the app over time, reducing its effectiveness as a memory aid.

Solution

Ensuring Simple Navigation for Alzheimer’s Patients

Implement a minimalist UI with large, high-contrast buttons, clear labels, and voice-guided navigation to simplify interactions and reduce confusion.

Helping Patients Understand App Functions

Use simple language, step-by-step prompts, and visual aids (icons, animations) to guide users through tasks intuitively.

Supporting Memory Recall Through Interaction

Incorporate consistent UI patterns, repetitive cues, and personalized reminders to reinforce familiarity and make interactions feel natural.
