Digitized Post-It Notes for Alzheimer's Patients
What a clever idea: digitizing the common, canary-yellow Post-It note to help people with Alzheimer's.
The Ixp-Note, 1mm thick, enables the user to enter the time and date of a future event by touching the paper with their finger. Using a normal pen, the user can then write the event they need to remember on a glowing strip, which can be programmed to flash or beep at the chosen time.The memo note uses thermo-chromic ink - like that used in thermometer strips - that changes colour in response to temperature.
Better yet, they're cheapish and reusable: a pack of ten costs £10.

I know this may sound trite,(my mom passed away from Alzheimers) on the surface this seems legit and has an application. However, unless this is mounted 12 inches in front of the head in some sort of odd carrot and stick setup, people that have a hard time remembering things, where things are, etc...I mean, whats the point? It needs wings and at the appropriate time, fly to the owner and tap them on the forehead to remind them, this is something you need to pay attention to. Seems like a perfect thing for people that are forgettful, not people with Alzheimers.
QOZMIQ is exactly right. This would be useless for Alzheimer's sufferers, even in the early stages. Cute idea though.
Seems a bit familiar.
Ugh - Metamonk182 beat me to it.
The inventor, Lyndsay Williams is a friend. She's invented a whole lot of really smart things. You can find some of her projects, here and here.
She was the inventor of the Microsoft SenseCam, which has been hugely touted around as a help for Alzheimer sufferers.
