Reminiscence processes using life-log entities for persons with mild dementia

• In this paper we present the reminiscence process in a prototype memory support tool for persons with mild dementia. The purpose is to promote autonomy for persons with mild dementia by supporting actualization and maintenance of episodic memories, and real-time access to a context-annotated life log.  The main research challenges are defined with a user scenario, Suitable reminiscence methods and memory entitities to reperesent life logs are described, and a preliminary architecture is presented. Finally an early design of a concrete ReviewClient is shown, to solicit feedback on the reminiscence methods, entitites chosen, architecture and the usability of the proposed interface.
