“…However, they cannot act directly on the user’s environment, for example, to prevent the evolution of a dangerous situation. Embedded technologies, such as the Cognitive Orthosis for Cooking, can turn off power to the stove if unsafe use by a person with a cognitive disorder is detected [ 70 , 71 ]. The mixed reality headset will also not be able to monitor the user’s health, in contrast to body sensors or some smart environments [ 66 ].…”

Background Mixed reality is an emerging technology that allows us to blend virtual objects into the actual user’s environment. This can be realized using head-mounted displays. Many recent studies have suggested the possibility of using this technology to support cognition in people with neurodegenerative disorders (NDs). However, most studies have explored improvements in cognition rather than in independence and safety during the accomplishment of daily living activities. Therefore, it is crucial to document the possibility of using mixed reality to support the independence of older adults in their daily lives. Objective This study is part of a larger user-centered study of a cognitive orthosis using pure mixed reality to support the independence of people living with NDs. This study aimed to explore (the difficulties encountered by older adults with NDs in their daily life to ensure that pure mixed reality meets their needs, (the most effective interventions with this population to determine what types of assistance should be provided by pure mixed reality technology, how the pure mixed reality technology should provide assistance to promote aging in place, and the main facilitators of and barriers to the use of this technology. Methods We conducted a descriptive, qualitative study. A total of 5 focus groups were completed with occupational therapists who had expertise in the disease and its functional impacts (N=29) to gather information. Each focus group met once for a 1-hour period. All sessions were held over a 3-month period. A semistructured interview guide was used. All group interviews were audiotaped with the consent of each participant to facilitate the data analysis. We conducted inductive qualitative analysis in four stages using a thematic analysis approach: full transcription of the audio recordings, first-order coding of the transcribed data, second-order coding from the first-order code list, and data reduction and matrix development. Results The results suggested that the main difficulties encountered by this population were in remembering to complete tasks, initiating the tasks, and planning the tasks. Several interventions are used to improve the independence of this population, such as prevention, simplification or facilitation, adaptation, and compensation. The use of pure mixed reality in older adults with NDs to promote independence and safety at home is promising and may respond to several clinical functions identified by the participants. Finally, pure mixed reality has good potential for use in this population and involves certain facilitators and obstacles, such as resources, technical aspects, and social considerations. Conclusions The cognitive orthosis that will be developed in light of this study will act as a proof of concept for the possibility of supporting people with NDs using pure mixed reality.

Background: Hypertension is a prevalent health problem in older adults, with better outcomes expected through proper self-care. However, little is known about the effects of cognitive function level on self-care in older adults living in the community. Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted from October 2019 to January 2020, analyzed the effect of cognitive function on self-care in elderly individuals aged > 65 years with hypertension who visited a local general hospital for the treatment of hypertension. The Korean versions of the Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-K) were used to assess cognitive function. The Hypertension Self-Care Behavior Scale (HBP-SC Behavior Scale) was used to analyze the subjects’ self-care, which was divided into diet behavior and health behavior (except diet). The general characteristics and degrees of self-care of the subjects were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting self-care. Results: Factors influencing HBP-SC diet behavior scores were religion (β =.27, SE = 0.69, p =.007) and MoCA-K scores (β =.31, SE = 0.08, p = .002). HBP-SC health behavior (except diet) scores were associated with comorbidities (β = −.20, SE = 0.60, p = .032), and the power of the model was 20%. However, there were no variables that significantly affected the total HBP-SC score, which included the diet behavior and health behavior (except diet) scores. Conclusions: Although there was no significant factor influencing the total HBP-SC score, religion, MoCA-K scores, and comorbidities were factors influencing diet behavior and health behavior (except diet). Therefore, tailored education takes into account religion, MoCA-K domains, and comorbidities is necessary to promote self-care in hypertensive older adults.

“…Second, the studies used technology systems aimed at helping the participants to perform one or more multistep daily tasks. Studies aimed at developing technology systems to support multistep tasks were excluded if the evaluation of the systems occurred via focus groups or the involvement of participants other than those on whom this review was concentrated (studies such as those reported by Bouchard et al , 2020; Gagnon-Roy et al , 2020; Pereyda et al , 2019; Wilson et al , 2019; Yaddaden et al , 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review studies that evaluated technology-based prompting systems for supporting participants with dementia or acquired cognitive impairment in their performance of multistep daily tasks. Design/methodology/approach A scoping review was conducted to identify eligible studies through a search of four electronic databases, that is, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Findings The search, which covered the 2010–2020 period, led to the identification of 1,311 articles, 30 of which were included in the review. These articles evaluated six different types of prompting systems: context-aware, automatic computer prompting, context-aware, mediated computer prompting, teleoperated robot prompting, self-operated augmented reality prompting, self-operated computer or tablet prompting and time-based (preset) computer, tablet or smartphone prompting. Originality/value Technology-aided prompting to help people with dementia or acquired cognitive impairment perform relevant multistep daily tasks is considered increasingly important. This review provides a picture of the different prompting options available and of their level of readiness for application in daily contexts.
