Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cognitive impairment may cause problems in planning and initiating daily activities, as well as remembering to do what is scheduled. This study investigates the effectiveness of an interactive web-based mobile reminder calendar, (RemindMe). The calendar sends text messages to the user's mobile phone as support in everyday life, for persons with cognitive impairment due to neurological injury/diagnoses. The study has a randomized controlled trial design with data collection at baseline and at follow-up sessions after two and four months. Data collection started in October 2016 and continued until February 2018. RemindMe may give the needed support to remind the person and thus increase the ability to perform activities and to become independent in everyday life.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

intervention group

Participants receive rehabilitation as usual and training how to use RemindMe by personnel from the research group and an occupational therapist working at the rehabilitation clinic. The participants will use RemindMe for two months. The participants choose activities that he/she wishes to remember to carry out with support by RemindMe. An individual follow-up session will be conducted once a week by the occupational therapist to evaluate if the chosen activities were performed and discuss strategies for the continued use of RemindMe. After two months the participants decide if he/she wants to continue to use RemindMe.
