Summary: Our hosts talk with Tom Dixon about his innovative app that he created as the result of an injury he sustained in his mid-twenties when he was hit by a car and suffered a traumatic brain injury. His TBI caused seizures and severe losses in his episodic memory, a type of amnesia meaning he does not recall the details of his day. Instead of retreating into a dark place, Tom used his new condition to be the catalyst to create the innovative mobile app ME.mory that helps him fill in the missing memories. It’s similar to an external hard drive which he feeds with all the details of his day and later he can put these pieces together. Instead of having his brain store all kinds of information, his app can do it for him. Listen to Tom talk about his journey and how he has not only adapted to his post-injury life, but has thrived and created an ingenious tool for himself and others.
