This case study explores the Resilient Memory Journal, an innovative journaling app designed to enhance cognitive functions for those who experience memory loss through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with personalized journaling.
Journaling individuals often struggle to find a platform that truly caters to their needs for cognitive and emotional development. Existing digital journaling tools lack the integration of advanced AI to deeply analyze and enhance the memory retention and emotional intelligence of users.
Resilient Memory Journal aims to solve these issues by offering a technologically advanced solution that integrates voice-to-text and photo capabilities, uses natural language processing (NLP) for analyzing and summarizing journal entries, and employs neural networks to track and predict mood patterns.
You can either scroll all the way down or tap on the navigation bar to start your entry. When you enter your entry you will have three ways: text, voice, or image. Once you saved your entry, you can tap on "AI Analysis" to view your report.
There are three sub-sections in the Analytics page: "Summary". "Mood", and "Personality". In this page, you can see your report from all of your journal entry.
This is where you can change you privacy settings and some resources for mental health. You can also choose to sync your journal entry on all other devices.
By drawing on the short-term and long-term memory framework on Tulving's episodic memory research the app enhances journaling skills and maximizes memory retention and retrieval.
Jonides et al.'s short-Term memory research influences the app’s capabilities, focusing on enhancing short-term memory processes.
Safari and Chalechale's NLP research inspired the journal's sentiment tracking component, combining emotional intelligence with AI for an in-depth analysis of sentiment patterns.
The app includes positive thinking exercises based on Crawford et al.'s research, aiming to improve cognitive functioning and memory recall.
The Resilient Memory Journal differentiates itself from existing journaling apps like Day One, Journey, Penzu, and Notion through its advanced AI capabilities. While other apps provide basic journaling functions, the Resilient Memory Journal excels in offering comprehensive mood and cognitive analysis, AI generate prompt and insights, and tips for positive thinking, positioning it as a unique tool in the market.
Reflecting on the Resilient Memory Journal project, I realize how much it's pushed and grown me. Designing a journal that not only uses advanced AI like voice-to-text and photo integration, but also feels easy and intuitive to use, was a real challenge. Balancing complex functionalities such as NLP for sentiment analysis and mood tracking with a user-friendly interface was intricate yet immensely rewarding.
This project has been a significant milestone in my professional development, enriching my expertise and shaping my approach to tech-driven solutions.
