Market assessment for a digital memory augmentation prosthetic device that improves memory for everyday events

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We have developed a prototype version of a neuroscience-guided memory prosthetic tool to mitigate and rehabilitate memory impairments in three groups of patients with memory disorders (Acquired Brain Injury, Alzheimer's disease, and temporal lobe epilepsy), as well as in healthy older adults. Pilot data show exceptional promise in terms of rescuing memory and enhancing brain function. Given that cascading withdrawal from mnemonic and social function affects both cognition and quality of life, our intervention will slow this negative feedback loop and reduce the burden of memory disorders. We are applying for an I2I Market Assessment grant to identify the size of the market, promising distribution channels, key features to develop, and optimal market segments to target.
