Wearable experience capture for episodic memory support

Abstract

People with recent episodic memory impairment (EMI) such as individuals with Alzheimer's disease suffer from the lack of awareness of their recent experiences. We designed a wearable lifelogging system that allows these individuals to automatically and passively capture their experiences, select and annotate the most salient memory cues from the lifelog, and present these cues to support reminiscence of the experience with a self-guided, memory-exercising interaction.
