A predictive day-timer for Alzheimer's patients

Ubiquitous computing and machine learning are globbed together to make an effective treatment for Alzheimer's patients, who carry around a little location-sensitive, environment aware pager that memorizes their schedules and gives them little reminders when they blow their buffers. I could use one of these right now. This reminds me of the "Famuluses," electronic familiars from Ian McDonald's indescribably brilliant novel "Out on Blue Six." They're also reminiscent of the tattoos on the lead character in Memento. There's something really compelling about the idea of a predictive day-timer.
