Prompting-based memory compensation is a potential application for smartwatches. This study investigated the usability and efficacy of a Moto360 smartwatch as a memory aid. Four community dwelling adults with memory difficulties following acquired brain injury (ABI) were included in an A-B-A single case experimental design study. Performance of everyday memory tasks was tested over six weeks with the smartwatch and software provided during weeks three and four. Participants were asked to use their usual memory aids and strategies during the control phases (weeks 1-2, 5-6). Three participants successfully used the smartwatch throughout the intervention weeks and gave positive usability ratings. A fourth participant experienced a seizure and subsequently left the study before the intervention phase. Three participants showed improved memory performance when using the smartwatch. Nonoverlap of all pairs (NAP) analysis showed a non-significant small increase in memory performance between baseline and intervention phases (mean NAP = 0.1, p = .84). There was a larger, significant decline between the intervention and return to baseline (mean NAP = 0.58, p < .01). The use of an off-the-shelf smartwatch device and software was feasible for people with ABI in the community. It was effective compared to practice as usual, although this was only apparent on withdrawal of the device.
基于提示的记忆补偿是智能手表的一个潜在应用领域。本研究调查了摩托360智能手表作为记忆辅助工具的可用性和有效性。一项A - B - A单病例实验设计研究纳入了四名因后天性脑损伤（ABI）而存在记忆困难的社区居住成年人。在为期六周的时间里，使用智能手表以及在第三和第四周提供的软件对日常记忆任务的表现进行了测试。在对照阶段（第1 - 2周、第5 - 6周），要求参与者使用他们常用的记忆辅助工具和策略。三名参与者在整个干预周都成功使用了智能手表，并给出了积极的可用性评分。第四名参与者癫痫发作，随后在干预阶段之前退出了研究。三名参与者在使用智能手表时记忆表现有所改善。全对不重叠（NAP）分析显示，基线期和干预期之间记忆表现有不显著的小幅提高（平均NAP = 0.1，p = 0.84）。在干预期和恢复到基线期之间有更大幅度的显著下降（平均NAP = 0.58，p < 0.01）。对于社区中的ABI患者来说，使用现成的智能手表设备和软件是可行 的。与常规做法相比，它是有效的，但这仅在撤掉设备后才明显。
