Group 20 of the project Designing for Specific Users, a project of the bachelors program Industrial Design Engineering, presents to you: RemindMe. This group of students of the University of Twente cooperated with and designed for John (pseudonym). Different ways were researched on how his daily life could be improved regarding his short term memory loss. The final product consists of a smartwatch and a phone application. The phone application should help the user to create appointments easily, while the watch is designed to receive notification on.
On this website you can find the process of and the reasoning behind how the group came to the final design.
The group would like to thank various people that enabled and helped us doing this project. Firstly, the group would like to thank the tutors Dr. Ir. R. J. den Haan and Ir. T. Ekhtiar for supporting us during the process and providing helpful feedback. Secondly, the group is thankful for Dr. J. van Dijk, E.M. Blokhuis and Drs J.C. van Huizen for coordinating this project in such a structured and useful way. Thirdly, we are grateful for the lecturers of this module for providing new practical and fascinating knowledge.
Of course, we would also like to thank our co-designer specifically for giving us his time and cooperating with us, being an open book, and being as enthusiastic as we were about the project and the co-design process.
