They still don't know what to do with it. It was a GoPro before there were GoPros, a dashcam before dashcams. The issue is that scientists said "we can record every minute of your life - now how do we make people want to do that?" rather than finding a problem and proposing a solution. I'm not opposed to giving memory aids to Alzheimer's sufferers but Microsoft's study had an N of 1 and was conducted against a diary. That the study was done ten years ago and didn't really lead to much further research is telling, I think; basically, Microsoft demonstrated that making an Alzheimer's patient review an hour-long event for an hour every two days keeps that event in short term memory for as long as the patient is reviewing the photos.
