“…More studies should focus on validating the e cacy, utility, and cost-effectiveness of technology tools (Chinner et al, 2018). Previous studies focused on cognitive abilities (Drachman et al, 1996) and (Olsson et al, 2005), parallelly on motor functions in dementia patients (Leitão et al, 2022), and few studies focus on digitalizing the cognitive tests (Juarez et al, 2014). However, observation-based cognitive motor technology was developed to assess cognitive and motor functions (Werner et al, 2018).…”

“…At the same time, studies focused on digitalizing the cognitive tests in the mobile-touch interface for the elderly and measuring cognitive impairments, visuomotor tracking, attention, and executive functioning in the elderly with dementia. Furthermore, the study included Computerized neuropsychological tests, like the Trail Making Test (Juarez et al, 2014). Parallel research towards psychomotor assessments using technology is well-focused.…”

As age increases, there is a decline in cognitive function, processing speed, and psychomotor function and this cognitive decline can be reduced or maintained by physical activity. In the current study, we aimed to use technology for all the elderly with and without dementia by helping with memory, spatial orientation, and other cognitive and motor tasks. It can be achieved by testing with a digitalized cognitive-motor test before and after the digitalized physical activity Intervention with ICT-Rollator. Meanwhile, the psycho-motor test analyzes cognitive and motor function using technology for all seniors and those with dementia. The foundation of the development and digitization of the innovative psycho-motor test is based on the core of human behavior. Evidence shows enough studies aimed at incorporating technologies for physical activity into the lives of the elderly. Still, there is a lack of research for integrating technologies for testing cognitive and motor abilities at the same time in healthy elderly and seniors with dementia. The psycho-motor test, which measures motor and cognitive abilities memory, spatiotemporal orientation, mobility, coordination, shape, and color recognition, reading skills, navigation, reaction time, and attention was administered to 12 seniors with dementia and 12 healthy seniors of age 65+. Therefore, psycho-motor tests integrating with ICT-Rollator could help seniors and therapists monitor motor-cognitive functions. Further research focuses on the technology integrations to enhance motor-cognitive functions, physical outcomes, and psychological outcomes in the elderly and for individual chronic conditions according to their respective symptoms.

“…It involves connecting the targets on a paper with lines. In recent years, the TMT has been digitalized, and TMT systems [ 27 , 28 , 29 ] have been developed using tablets and VR technologies. Pinkes et al [ 30 ] developed a real-world version of the TMT, called Can-TMT, which involves taking cans labeled with numbers or letters out of a shelf in sequence.…”

The steady increase in the aging population worldwide is expected to cause a shortage of doctors and therapists for older people. This demographic shift requires more efficient and automated systems for rehabilitation and physical ability evaluations. Rehabilitation using mixed reality (MR) technology has attracted much attention in recent years. MR displays virtual objects on a head-mounted see-through display that overlies the user’s field of vision and allows users to manipulate them as if they exist in reality. However, tasks in previous studies applying MR to rehabilitation have been limited to tasks in which the virtual objects are static and do not interact dynamically with the surrounding environment. Therefore, in this study, we developed an application to evaluate cognitive and motor functions with the aim of realizing a rehabilitation system that is dynamic and has interaction with the surrounding environment using MR technology. The developed application enabled effective evaluation of the user’s spatial cognitive ability, task skillfulness, motor function, and decision-making ability. The results indicate the usefulness and feasibility of MR technology to quantify motor function and spatial cognition both for static and dynamic tasks in rehabilitation.
