Abstract
An increasing number of older adults with neurodegenerative diseases and a growing gap in healthcare services lead to a higher need of suitable means of prevention and intervention in order to support the maintenance of an autonomous life. Software for cognitive and psycho-motoric training has the potential to provide an adapted training that challenges without producing cognitive overload. To achieve this goal, the status of a person’s cognitive and motoric abilities must be assessed. We propose a system that provides adapted training for older adults based on dynamic diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Within this contribution, a concept of content adaptation on the individual needs of a user and actual stage of development, a training application prototype as well as first results of user studies in a geriatric day clinic are presented.
