Abstract
Because of cognitive problems, it is very difficult for individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) to manage their time. Consequently, they are dependent on their caregivers or use pen-and-paper organizers, both of which have limitations. A more interesting alternative could be an electronic organizer that optimizes the functional autonomy of persons with AD. This article describes the development of an electronic organizer called AP@LZ by an interdisciplinary team of computer specialists and clinicians. The results show how knowledge of technology and knowledge of the cognitive capacities of persons with AD can be combined. A pre-experimental phase confirmed that AP@LZ was easy to use by elderly participants. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
