Gamification of cognitive training

Abstract

Cognitive impairment is a serious concern for the most advanced societies in the world. Current research focuses on prevention strategies, which aim to delay as much as possible the first symptoms from appearing. Common therapeutic strategies rely on participants regularly completing diverse tasks in a monotonous way, which may get tiresome as they become routine, tempting participants to drop out after a short time. According to the motivational outcomes of the strategic use of game design elements, gamification arises as an effective technique for user engagement in non-leisure contexts like healthcare and well-being. Therefore, in this work we present Preventive Neuro Health (PNH), a gamified crowdsourcing-inspired tool for cognitive impairment prevention of older adults that enables personalization both from clinical and engagement perspectives.
