Cognitive Prosthesis
Also known as: Cognitive Prosthetic, Digital Memory Aid
A cognitive prosthesis is a technology-based system designed to supplement or replace cognitive functions that have been impaired due to conditions such as dementia, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological disorders. These systems can range from simple reminder apps to sophisticated platforms that automatically capture, organize, and present life events to support memory, daily routines, and social interaction. Cognitive prostheses are a key area of assistive technology research for aging populations and people with cognitive disabilities.
