Circular memodayplanner

Abstract

Nowadays technology improves every day helping more and more fields to progress and innovate. We can find electronics devices everywhere, so why can’t a disable person use one too? Disable people are getting more into using electronic gadgets which can help them to deal with their disability. For example, paralyzed people need a device to be able to move but cognitive disables need one which can guide them to understand and set better the time. Disable people already know some tools as memodayplanners, which help them to plan the different activities they must do during the day. The purpose of this project is to present a circular redesign of the Abilia memodayplanner, being able to show distinctive forms of distributing the day. The memodayplanner is a 24 circular hours clock. The time is showed in a digital form, but also with LED representing the flow of time so the user can understand in a better way in which the day is over. In addition, the planner has the possibility to set an alarm every 15 minutes in an automatic way, showing a change in the LED for the user to notice. At the same time the planner is not only a clock, but also a whiteboard so the user can interact with the product feeling itself a part of the process. The aim of the product is to make the client feel more confident about time, knowing at each moment what activity they should be doing and how fast time goes. As they will be doing plenty of different activities, some labels are included so they can easily recognized through a picture the next event they are going to perform. The labels not only involve activities, but also the days of the week, months, numbers or seasons situating the user in a space of time.
