Paper-Based and Smartphone-Based Memory Supports

"Digital calendar apps allow one to digitally off-load intentions either by typing them or by speaking them (speech-to-text voice-dictation capabilities). In addition, they deliver automated reminders to perform intended tasks, either at a single time (e.g., Monday at 9 am) or at recurring times (e.g., every night at 8 pm)."

The Memory Support System is an established paper-based solution for prospective memory functioning. There is considerable evidence in the literature for its utility in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and it has face validity to patients as supporting memory.
