The Pitch

Many individuals that suffer from memory loss or learning difficulties can often find remembering how, and when to, complete seemingly simple everyday tasks difficult. This can cause frustrations and lead to increased anxiety and reduced independence as others tend to step in to offer a helping hand.

Assist Me is an app that will help these individuals help themselves. The app will allow users to set, learn and be reminded on how and when to complete their everyday tasks. These tasks can be tailored to the user to suit their individual needs by the user themselves or a parent / guardian that has administrative access. This will enable users to regain their independence and feel pride in completing tasks without needing verbal prompts from a carer or loved one, as this can often be embarrassing.

The app will act as a self-motivated reminder of how to get things done without the need of another person. Hopefully removing and frustrations and sense of unwanted dependency on others. It will include a rewards system that collects data and gives the user in-app rewards which may encourage users to continue successfully using the system. It will also keep record of the days, weeks and months as they happen so that progress can be monitored.

The app will have a bright and colourful, yet simple, interface that is easy to navigate through and uses symbols to further enforce the meaning of the various components. It will allow users to search for particular tasks, scan objects with their phone camera to find out how to use them, set tasks and also see rewards. This is about helping individuals regain control over their own daily life rather than feeling reliant on others.
