Syftet med projektet har varit att utveckla Certecklockan till ett bärbart tidshjälpmedel. Certecklockan är ett tidshjälpmedel som mäter tiden i längd, detta för att hjälpa personer med kognitiva funktionshinder att få en bättre tidsuppfattning. I början av projektet hade vi ett antal olika förslag så som armbandsur, något att hänga runt halsen, mobiltelefon mm.
