Dementia is one of the most prevalent conditions faced by the elderly caused by specific brain cell damage. Various effects of dementia include a loss of memory, reduction in problem solving ability, analytical skills, and decision making capability. Few systems have been developed for the early detection of dementia. Existing systems depend largely on hardware e.g. sensors, gateways. Factors like maintainability and sustainability compromise the efficiency of such systems. This paper presents a novel approach towards the early detection of dementia and aims at eliminating some of the challenges posed by these systems. It also provides a comparati ve study of the cognitive abilities of healthy old-age people and those afflicted by dementia.read more

Gamification of Cognitive Assessment and Cognitive Training: A Systematic Review of Applications and Efficacy
TL;DR: It was found that working memory and general executive functions were common targets for both gamified assessment and training, and it is likely worthwhile to continue to develop gamified cognitive tasks in the future.

A Healthcare Integration System for Disease Assessment and Safety Monitoring of Dementia Patients
TL;DR: An eXtensible-Markup-Language-based dementia assessment system combining program code and assessment content is used to provide caregivers with better flexibility and real-time response ability and found that irritable patients with strong mobility were less compliant and often removed their own tags.
