Cogknow Ltd is a spin off of a project that concluded in 2010 and that had been co-funded under the EU's Sixth Research Framework Programme. Cogknow will exhibit its pre-product DayNavigator. It is an integrated assistive device providing services that meet the often unmet needs of people with dementia, for memory support, maintaining social contacts, feeling secure and instrumental support for daily activities.

The DayNavigator has been validated in field tests, and then further developed into a marketable product. Market feedback has been positive and the company is looking for investments to make a first product available.

Cogknow Ltd also represents the MemoryLane service from the new start-up Memorizon AB (Sweden). MemoryLane is an automatic camera worn by for example persons with dementia or autism, that enables them to capture their day in pictures and have them automatically transferred and organised on a computer screen. It has been validated in field tests that show promising positive impact on quality of life, for example re-enabling dialogue with family members of what happened during the day, since the pictures stimulates access to otherwise hidden episodic memories. MemoryLane can also be used to support reminiscence therapy in formal care settings.
