Project Overview
Vori: A Wearable Memory Assistant for people with ADHD that Listens, Learns, and Reminds
Vori is a first-of-its-kind wearable memory assistant designed for those who struggle with forgetfulness. Unlike traditional task managers that rely on manual input, Vori listens, captures, and curates your tasks based on your priorities—turning passive reminders into proactive support.
More than just a productivity tool, Vori redefines memory support. Seamlessly integrated into the Dynamic Island, it uses visual cues proven to enhance recall, making reminders more intuitive and effective.
At Vori, we believe remembering shouldn’t feel like a chore. Our mission is to transform memory support into an effortless, seamless experience.

Research Insights
We conducted a survey of 105 individuals with ADHD about their lives and found that they experience significant frustration with forgetfulness. When examining existing products, I noticed that while each tool has its strengths, none fully understand the user.

KPT Retrospective
This project was especially meaningful to me because my goal has always been to deeply explore problems I find truly important and use technology to enhance people’s sense of self-efficacy. Moreover, working in a team provided a valuable opportunity to develop my soft skills.
Keep
Continuously exploring meaningful problems and leveraging technology to enhance people’s sense of self-efficacy.
Strengthening teamwork and collaboration, which provided valuable opportunities to develop soft skills.
Problem
Ensuring that the solution truly addresses the core frustrations of users rather than just adding features.
Balancing innovation with practicality—some ideas were ambitious but challenging to implement effectively.
Try
Conducting deeper user research earlier to uncover more nuanced pain points.
Iterating more frequently based on real user feedback rather than assumptions.
Enhancing communication within the team to align expectations and optimize collaboration.
Always opened to have a coffee chat:)
