ProspecFit digitises the implementation intentions method, an effective lab-based memory technique, to make it available on smartphones through iterative design. The project draws insights from a focus group and preliminary studies. ProspecFit has been evaluated with 10 adults (61 to 80 years old) through 12-day in situ testing as well as pre- and post-testing.
Participants in the digital prospective memory training group were more prompt in performing the in situ prospective memory tasks, compared to the control group without digital training, and reported improvement in their prospective memory compared to before the training.
