Description
Series : IFIP International Federation for Information Processing Human collective set of experiences makes us who we are and help
us delineate a path for our ongoing life. Ageing, however, progressively limits
our ability to save, in our internal memory, these same experiences, or, at least,
limits our capability to remember them. The capability to remember, intrinsic to
our memory, is a very important one to us, as a human been, being this what
deferent’s us from several other species. In this paper we present a memory
assistant sub module of a bigger project, the VirtualECare, which ability will be
to remember us, not our past experiences, but our routine day-to-day tasks and
activities, in a somehow proactive manner, thus, allowing us to have some
relaxation about them, and focus the remaining of our ability in most important
facts.
