Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explored the use of smartphone-based apps, like a voice recorder and reminder app, to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia remember daily tasks, showing that these strategies are feasible, acceptable, and linked to improved prospective memory.
  • Over a 4-week period, participants used the apps to offload memory tasks and reported significant improvements in their ability to remember daily intentions, with high engagement and positive ratings from participants.
  • Performance on memory tasks initially favored the reminder app but shifted to the digital recorder over time, and greater app use was associated with better memory performance and independence in daily activities.]
