I put this under "assistive devices" because that's definitely a big part of how I use my smartphone!
It gives me a calendar with reminders about anything I need to be reminded about. It has an app that lets me keep track of where I parked my car when I'm out. I use it to keep track of just about anything I need to remember.
One of the handy things is that I don't have to try to remember something until I can find a pen and paper, and I only have to keep track of one thing (the phone).
Do other people use their phones this way?
And does anyone have an app that works for tracking symptoms? The doctors ask me about things, and I will vaguely remember something (say, that I've had bad vertigo, or that there are numb spots) but I won't be very confident about where.
It's too bad that I have lost the brain power to create apps, because it's the kind of thing that I could probably have figured out how to make, six or seven years ago. (I have this vision of an outline of a body, and you can tap the spots that are numb, or the ones with pain, while it's happening, and have the app track when it happened, and for how long....)
