Overview
Brief Summary
Cognitive impairment may cause problems in planning and initiating daily activities, as well as remembering to do what is scheduled. This study investigates the effectiveness of an interactive web-based mobile reminder calendar, (RemindMe). The calendar sends text messages to the user's mobile phone as support in everyday life, for persons with cognitive impairment due to neurological injury/diagnoses. The study has a randomized controlled trial design with data collection at baseline and at follow-up sessions after two and four months. Data collection started in October 2016 and continued until February 2018. RemindMe may give the needed support to remind the person and thus increase the ability to perform activities and to become independent in everyday life.

Primary Outcomes
Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
Time Frame: Occupational performance is assessed at baseline. Change from baseline in occupational performance is assessed after two months. And change from baseline after four months.
The assessment is used to identify and measure performance and satisfaction with the performance of activities of daily living that are important to the person. Assessment is made on a scale from 1 to 10. 1 is the worst outcome and 10 is the best outcome.
Functional independence measure (FIM)
Time Frame: Independence is assessed at baseline. Change from baseline in independence is assessed after two months. And change from baseline after four months.
The assessment is used to identify and measure independence in everyday Life activities. Assessment is made on a scale from 1 to 7. 1 is the worst outcome and 7 is the best outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- EQ-5D-5L(HQoL is assessed at baseline. Change from baseline in HQoL is assessed after two months. And change from baseline after four months)
- Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Device Scale (PIADS)(The psychosocial impact is assessed at baseline. Change from baseline in psychosocial impact is assessed after two months. And change from baseline after four months.)
