Cognitive support technology – Time and planning

Every day life can be difficult to manage when time, memory, and planning don't come naturally.

Time becomes more tangible when it is visualised as a quantity, helping users gain a better sense and understanding of how their day unfolds. With the right cognitive support, people can gain overview, predictability, and control over their daily lives—enabling them to plan ahead, remember what to do, and take initiative on their own or with support from others.

Abilia's cognitive support solutions are designed to promote independence and participation. Our assistive technology helps users understand their day by keeping track of time, looking both forward and back at activities and appointments, and receiving reminders when needed. The visual structure makes it easier to create routines, stay focused on tasks, and carry out everyday activities more independently. It can also makes it easier to communicate about events—supporting meaningful conversations with family and care staff about what happened yesterday or what's planned for tomorrow.

By supporting greater structure and predictability in daily life, cognitive support technology can helps users feel more in control. This can reduce stress and anxiety while building confidence and independence over time—contributing to lasting value for users, families, and care professionals alike.

Everything starts with knowledge.
