Using smartphones to aid your memory in every day activities
Hi everyone,
Using smartphones in our every day life has the potential to support the function of memory after a stroke. With smartphones we can, among others, independently set alarms for taking medication, add reminders, put events in a calendar and create lists of items to remember them later.
Unfortunately, sometimes people don't feel very confident using or learning how to use their smartphones. This is one of the reasons why at Monash University we are conducting a research project comparing three techniques to teach people how to use an app in their smartphones as a memory aid.
If you live in Melbourne, have had a stroke, are currently experiencing memory difficulties, have a smartphone and would like to feel more confident using it, you may be suitable for our study.
Being part of our project involves participating in a total of 4 sessions lasting approximately 2 hours each. You will receive a training session with a provisionally registered psychologist and we will have 2 follow-up sessions. We are also very flexible in terms of location as sessions can be completed at the Monash Psychology Centre in Notting Hill, at Monash University in Clayton, the La Trobe Psychology Clinic in Bundoora, or at your home.
