PROSTHETIC MEMORY [ back to What's New ]
Neuropsychologist Neil Hersh of San Mateo has developed a prosthetic memory system for persons who cannot remember when to take specific action without external prompting, such as take medication, visit the doctor, prepare a meal, and the like. Each client gets a beeper with a very loud beep which will go off at times predesignated on Dr. Hersh's computerized schedule at his office. The schedule can be reprogammed by the client as his routines change. For those interested contact Dr. Hersh at neilhersh@prodigy.com
