Here is a son’s frantic effort to deal with his mother who is diagnosed with anterograde amnesia and tends to forget things. So what does the son do? He drew upon a plan that is both simple yet effective, something that the son, Jan Miksovsky said helped deal with the situation remarkably well.

As BoingBoing revealed, all of it is centered around a BOOX Note Air2 device that has been customized to serve as a display board. Jan Miksovsky said he has been looking for something that offered a display that would draw very little power and has the ability to show something for months without losing any appreciable amount of charge. Jan Miksovsky’s project also required a device with a relatively large display that was easy on the eyes and offered good readability.

Eventually, the device that Jan Miksovsky said fitted his requirements was the BOOX Note Air2. Being a software guy himself helped bring the project to its culmination. He tweaked the software for the Note Air 2 to function as a display board that would show the messages that his mother needed to be reminded of. His siblings too are able to update things and the message remains on display till it is replaced with a new message.

Appropriately named the MomBoard, the display is intended to keep the mother informed of the happening concerning her so that she isn’t unduly worried. This is important for somebody who tends to forget things in a time span that can be as short as just 5 minutes. While other forms of reminders such as paper notes have failed, the Boox Note Air 2 somehow clicked, much to the relief of Jan Miksovsky.

Enthused with the positive response that his project received from his mother, he shared the details on his blog should anyone want to replicate the same for a similar purpose.
