The WatchMinder2 is really for everyone! Anyone who needs to be reminded of anything can use the WatchMinder2. “It is the next best thing to tying a string around your finger”. Here are some other applications for the WatchMinder2:

Parents of young children are using the watch for toilet training. The message BATHRM can be used to alert the parent to take the child to the bathroom. GIVPOS can also be used to praise the child.

People who do repetitive tasks at work (assembly line) or who sit for long hours at the desk can use the reminder STRTCH throughout the day. This can prevent work related ailments such as back problems and carpal tunnel disease.

Psychologists and psychiatrists can set the watch to go off ten minutes before every hour, thus privately alerting them to STOP their session.

Public speakers and professors can use the training mode to pace themselves during a talk or lecture and they do not need to worry about the clock.

Busy homemakers and business persons are using the watch to privately remember tasks that they need to do each day (GO MTG, CALHME).

Several studies have been completed at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, Carnegie Melon University, and the Canadian Air Force demonstrating the potential of the WatchMinder2  for compliance in behavioral research and in clinical trials research. Subjects in research studies have to comply with the protocol of the study. This is often a problem when the subject has a number of tasks to complete each day for the research project. This may include taking medication (MEDS), exercising (EXRCSE), recording data (WRITE) and collecting a speciman (BATHRM). The success of a study depends on subject compliance. The WatchMinder2 is an excellent tool for research and data collection.
