A PDA with mobile telephony is used to provide these reminders and they are announced by an alarm to the users.
A graphical representation of the system architecture.
MemoJog's reminders are stored in a remote server and transmitted to the device using always on GPRS mobile telephony.
The users themselves can add reminders directly onto the device or carers/administrators can add reminders
remotely using any internet accesible device. Reminders can also be phoned in by users/carers to admin staff
or left as messages on an answer machine. The reminders are then wirelessly transmitted from the database to
the PDA at the apporpriate times. The system monitors users' response to reminders and in the case of crucial
reminders such as 'Take medication' can act accordingly e.g. by contacting carers/family members by text message,
email or prerecorded phone message.
