WayMarkr's concept of "life caching"

The WayMarkr application is based on the concept of "life caching" -- documenting whatever occurs in your life. WayMarkr suggests you place the camera phone somewhere on your body -- hang it around your neck, attach it to a strap across your shoulders or even wear it in the back of your head.

Once the software is enabled, your phone will continuously take photographs of your events and perspectives. All photographs are sent to a remote server so your phone never runs out of space.

People who have very bad memory problems in general or don't remember whether they've taken their medicines might find it useful to have a product that continuously documents their activities."
