Abstract:
As society is aging, an increasing number of elderly people is affected by cognitive problems. Early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial for slowing down deterioration at an early stage. Improving detection would allow aging in place and thus more cost effective care. However, detection usually occurs too late. Clinical tests are expensive, not frequent enough, and give only a single snapshot of cognitive performance. Regular home monitoring of the changes in mental state would be important but clinical tests have not been developed for this purpose. In this paper, the use of computer games in measuring and maintaining mental wellness in a regular and voluntary way is proposed. Problems and potential solutions are presented, with special emphasis given on the sensor fusion problem caused by the various games present.
