“…Third, the Gradior Program is excellent software for cognitive stimulation in Alzheimer's patients. These elements are in tune with the studies by Pérez-Turiel [10], or those contributed by Fumero [11], carried out in Spain, Italy, Greece, the United States, Japan or Korea, and which were also demonstrated by Harvey [12], Toribio-Guzmán [2] and Caroppo [13]. Fourth, we can find an important limitation at the sample level.…”

“…This is confirmed by studies such as Fumero [11], carried out in Spain, Italy, Greece, the United States, Japan and Korea. The intervention with the Gradior program, in addition to being a very useful resource [12] because it is presented as a tool used by professionals offering an efficient way of working [2], can facilitate the practice of cognitive rehabilitation (see Figure 1) as it can be used in the domestic environment [13]. (Figure 1) Our study is based on the idea that the use of specialized software is beneficial for the maintenance or even improvement in cognitive impairment levels on Alzheimer's disease people.…”

Study to check if cognitive stimulation through the Gradior software offers better results than cognitive stimulation without software support, in Alzheimer's disease people. Quasi-experimental methodology with an experimental group (8 subjects) that use the Gradior program as cognitive stimulation therapy, and a control group (8 subjects) that does not use Gradior software. The sample comes from a Nursing Home and a Diurnal Stay Unit, with subjects that are between the different phases of the disease, excluding those subjects with severe impairment that impedes communication and execute scales. Using a brief questionnaire and the Minimental State Examination (MMSE) scale, in a correlational and comparative analysis, and the nonparametric test Mann-Whitney U. It has been verified the hypothesis that the people who carry out therapy with the Gradior program present improvements or maintain their cognitive levels. To conclude, it can be stated that there is a relationship between the improvement in the level of cognitive impairment and the Gradior program. These data are of interest to the different professionals who require cognitive stimulation work with Alzheimer patients or residents, increasing the efficacy and incidence of cognitive therapy.

ABSTRACT. Many studies have found that non-pharmacological interventions, such as cognitive stimulation (CS), can benefit people with dementia (PWD) or with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The use of the computerized cognitive stimulation (CCS) had proven to be an ally to those who want to detect and mitigate this disease. Objective: The purpose of this paper was to analyze the scientific production in CCS in PWD or with MCI in journals indexed in Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science and Elsevier’s Scopus since 2000. Methods: Data collected from Web of Science and Scopus during 2000–2019. Results: The data show that dementia research is exponentially developing following the evolution of widespread use of computer science. As such, this article was of enormous importance doing a bibliometric analysis of what has been done in the area since the beginning of this century. The search terms identified 61 papers related to the use of computers applied to CS in PWD or MCI, and the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease had the largest number of publications. The most cited article was the Faucounau et colleagues. Major research’ countries are United Kingdom, Spain and United States. Conclusions: The findings in these papers were analysed to find recommendations for future work in this area. The CCS has been increasingly used as an intervention tool for PWD or MCI, and there still seems to be a possibility for evolution in good quality publications.

Esta investigación tiene como principal objetivo analizar la relación existente entre el programa informático Gradior, y la mejora o mantenimiento del nivel cognitivo de aquellas personas que padecen la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Metodología cuasi-experimental, con un grupo de 8 sujetos con el que se utiliza el programa Gradior como terapia de estimulación cognitiva, y un grupo control (8 sujetos) que tiene estimulación cognitiva sin software de apoyo. Muestra: Una residencia de Personas Mayores y una Unidad de Estancia Diurna, con sujetos en diferentes fases de la enfermedad, excluyendo a aquellos sujetos con un nivel de deterioro que pudiera impedir la comunicación y administración de las escalas. Se utiliza cuestionario sociodemográfico de elaboración propia (fiabilidad r= .863) y la escala Minimental State Examination (MMSE), administrada en dos momentos (pre-test y pos-test). A través de un análisis correlacional tipo Spearman (significaciones estadísticas de p < .001), la prueba no Paramétrica U de Mann-Whitney y prueba T de contrate de muestras independientes (confirmación de hipótesis alternativa H1, con un valor de significación p= .001 en ambas pruebas), se puede afirmar que existe relación entre la mejora del deterioro cognitivo y el uso del programa Gradior. Supone un elemento enriquecedor para profesionales que intervienen a través de estimulación cognitiva con estos sujetos con Alzheimer. Abstract. The main objective of this research is to analyse the relationship between the Gradior software and the improvement or maintenance of the cognitive level in elder people with Alzheimer's disease. Using a quasi-experimental methodology, a group of 8 subjects using the Gradior programme as cognitive stimulation therapy and a control group (8 subjects) with traditional cognitive stimulation without support software were analysed. The sample comes from an Elderly Care Home and a Diurnal Stay Unit, with subjects in the different stages of the disease, excluding those subjects with a level of impairment that could impede communication and execution of scales. A self-made sociodemographic questionnaire (reliability r= .863) and the Minimental State Examination (MMSE) scale, administered in two moments (pre-test and post-test) were used. Through a Spearman-type correlational analysis (statistical significance of p < .001), the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, and independent samples t-test (confirmation of alternative hypothesis H1, with a significance value of p= .001 in both measures), it can be affirmed that there is a relationship between the improvement of cognitive impairment and the use of the Gradior software. These conclusions are an enriching element for the different professionals who have intervened through cognitive stimulation with those subjects with Alzheimer's disease.
