“…Thus, as a consequence of the technical acceptability analysis carried out (i.e., usefulness, ease of use and accessibility perceived by end users), we can confirm that there is at least initial evidence about the convenience of using the TV set to introduce games played as a means to assess the cognitive status of senior adults at home. Besides, the TV set offers a much more familiar interface for many users (Vázquez et al, 2012; Ofli et al, 2016; Heart & Kalderon, 2013) overcoming the digital divide when using an ICT-based health and care systems at home.…”

“…It is worth noting that at the time of writing this paper, contributions proposing the ubiquitous TV set as interfacing device are scarce (Shatil et al, 2014; Arvind Pala et al, 2014; Sauzéon et al, 2012), no matter that it can be considered the most familiar technological device available at home in the case of senior adults (Vázquez et al, 2012; Ofli et al, 2016; Heart & Kalderon, 2013). …”

IntroductionThe computing capabilities of state-of-the-art television sets and media centres may facilitate the introduction of computer-assisted evaluation at home. This approach would help to overcome the drawbacks of traditional pen-and-paper evaluations administered in clinical facilities, as they could be performed in a more comfortable environment, the subject’s home, and they would be more flexible for designing complex environments for the evaluation of neuropsychological constructs that are difficult to assess through traditional testing. The objective of this work was to obtain some initial evidence about the technical acceptance by senior adults of serious games played at home on the TV set and therefore about the convenience of further investigating such an approach to cognitive assesment.Materials and MethodsWe developed a collection of games to be deployed on a TV environment. These games were tried by a group of senior adults at their homes. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to validate this approach. Surveys were performed to study the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of such technical setting as an instrument for their cognitive evaluation; that is, its technical acceptance. Subjective information collected from participants was correlated with actual interaction data captured. An additional survey was performed 36 months after pilot testing to have an indication about the long-term perceptions about usefulness and ease of use.ResultsMore than 90% of participating subjects perceived cognitive games on TV as useful or very useful. The majority of participants selected the TV set as their preferred option to interact with serious games at home, when compared to other devices such as smartphones, tablets or PCs. This result correlates with the number of participants perceiving them as easily usable or very easy to use, and also with automatically captured interaction data. Three out of four seniors expressed their interest in keeping the system at home after the pilot. Besides, these perceptions are fairly stable in time as shown by the survey performed 36 months after pilot testing.LimitationsAlthough participating users are a representative sample of the Galician population, which in turn is comparable to the population of most rural areas in Europe, a larger and more diverse user sample would be needed to obtain significant results for a wider population profile.ConclusionThe study confirmed the technical acceptance, that is, the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, of the TV-based home technical setting introduced as a means of cognitive evaluation. This study provides initial evidence on the viability of a TV-based serious games approach for cognitive longitudinal screening at home with little intervention of clinical professionals, thus contributing to the early detection of cognitive impairments in the senior population.

“…However, this system is aimed at people with Parkinson's disease. Although the author thinks only a small change is needed, the system could be useful for patients with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment, as research on Alzheimer's disease is ongoing and there is no relevant completed system [11].…”

This paper introduces the concept of an intelligent vase that combines the cultivation of plants with psychotherapy for the Alzheimer’s adjuvant therapy (from now on, referred to as AD) of patients. RECALL (The name of intelligent vase which defined by this paper), which includes hardware and software applications, as well as a unique hand gesture interaction method, is able to collect patients’ hand gestures and play photos, to remind patients of the plant’s growth status. To evaluate our conceptual system, we created a preliminary prototype. We conducted an experiment with leap motion. This project tries to explore a kind of interaction method by cultivating plants to simulate cognitive training activities, to stimulate memories through family pictures, to slow down the cognitive decline from AD, to incorporate non-drug intervention into the family life of AD patients, to reduce the expenditure, time, and energy costs, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

“…Lo que ha contribuido a que se necesite un marco estratégico sanitario que haga que las personas se sientan a salvo en casa, seguras y confiadas (Accenture, 2020b). En este sentido, también existen aplicaciones de telecuidado más orientadas a la estimulación, y útiles para prevenir o mitigar los efectos de enfermedades tales como el deterioro cognitivo, la pérdida de memoria o el Parkinson (García et al, 2012). El Centro de Referencia Estatal de Atención a Personas con Enfermedad de Alzheimer y otras Demencias (CREA), propone algunas aplicaciones que pueden ser útiles para utilizar en casos de estimulación cognitiva (Alzheimer Association, 2021;CRE Alzheimer Salamanca, 2021).…”

ResumenEn los últimos años se está observando un aumento creciente de la preocupación de las personas por su salud y la de su entorno próximo. El envejecimiento creciente de la población mundial, sumado a la tendencia al alza de las personas mayores viviendo solas en sus domicilios, la situación de pandemia actual que estamos viviendo y la tendencia creciente de los jóvenes y adultos de conocer, controlar y mejorar su salud, ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de mejora de la gestión de servicios, cuidados y recursos sociosanitarios. La población cada vez ...
