Problem Memory Principles Hypotheses Proposed Intervention and Use Case Experiment
Digital and analog forms of memory aids for time-specific tasks are visually, audibly, and/or physically intrusive.
non-intrusive:not involving visual or tangible cues
Dosecast “was acceptable in terms of ease of use…and perceived usefulness”
Wu, Yelena P., et al. "Use of a Smartphone Application for Prompting Oral Medication Adherence Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer."
Retrieval through association “Six laboratory and field experiments showed that the reminders-through-association approach can dramatically increase people’s success at following through on their intentions.”
Rogers, Todd, and Katherine L. Milkman. “Reminders Through Association.”
Utilize odour as a non-intrusive method to cue memory
Proust Phenomenon Olfactory Bulb
“odour has the ability to “cue autobiographical memories which are highly vivid, affectively toned and very old” (Chu and Downes).
“The olfactory bulb connects to structures in the brain including the amygdala, hippocampus and thalamus, which have been shown to be involved in memory function and the modulation of emotions.” “the hippocampus, which is involved in associative learning” https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3425/6/3/22/htm

Non-intrusive memory retrieval of time-specific tasks can be accomplished through the presentation of an odour.
Sniff! A system that conditions odour to a time-specific task so that each time you smell the odour, you remember to perform the task

Odour Exposure Uniqueness of Odour
Odour will only be noticeable by the user for up to 5 minutes. “constant exposure to an odour for more than 20 min, sensitivity is greatly reduced and when one is exposed to the same odour on a daily basis olfactory sensitivity to that odour dramatically diminishes,” (Herz, “The Role of”).

Odours will unique in scent. “olfactory cognition is unlike cognition mediated through
retroactive interference [67,68]. That is, the first association formed to an odour typically remains tied to that odour despite multiple future experiences of the same
