    This study introduces a working memory prosthesis to help patients with memory loss stay on track with sequential tasks. The device provides spoken reminders, aiding individuals in recalling their intentions and completing intended actions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Science
    • Neuroscience
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Memory impairments, particularly in sequential task execution, pose significant challenges for patients.
    • Difficulty in recalling intentions disrupts goal-directed behavior and daily functioning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and implement a working memory prosthesis to assist patients with memory deficits.
    • To help patients maintain their current action plan and complete sequential tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • A microcomputer-based system connected to a voice synthesizer was developed.
    • An interface algorithm was created to allow users to input routine action patterns and mnemonics.
    • The prosthesis provides periodic spoken instructions to guide the user.

    Main Results:

    • The working memory prosthesis successfully assists patients in recalling their intentions during sequential actions.
    • The system enables users to define and follow personalized action plans.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed working memory prosthesis is a viable tool for aiding individuals with memory problems.
    • Potential applications extend to various scenarios requiring sequential task management and memory support.
