“…To ensure good interactions between elderly and the game, six elements of interface are suggested. Simple interface with bright and contrast colour are recommended considering their vision conditions [34,48,[55][56][57]59,82]. For example, black and white or green and white.…”

The advancement of technology in healthcare has promoted changes in traditional intervention or treatment of diseases. The utilization of technology via digital games has become one of the alternative interventions for memory disorder which can be considered as supplementary tool to traditional therapeutic methods compared to pharmacological treatments which are not only expensive but also associated with significant adverse effects. Using psychotherapy games as non-pharmacological interventions is more human-centred and have been considered as the best alternative. Although games have been widely used in many domains including entertainment, education and psychotherapy, criteria and guidelines of psychotherapy games particularly for memory-disorder are not clearly defined. This could consequently result in developing ineffective game-based therapy for patients. This article proposes a guideline and criteria that can help in designing and developing psychotherapy games to be utilized in treating memory disorder patients. Combination of systematic literature reviews and interview were employed to acquire the list of criteria needed for psychotherapy games. A total of 25 criteria are identified and have been classified into four main categories are proposed as a guideline. To evaluate the proposed guideline, a Neuro-therapy game is designed and developed using prototyping approach. A significant contribution of this study is the criteria and guidelines for psychotherapy game which will benefit game developers and practitioners who directly involved with psychotherapy programs with memory disorder patients. The proposed criteria and guidelines can be adapted to other psychotherapy domain, such as special needs education therapy, jobs screening, and occupational therapy. Furthermore, this could possibly improve the existing intervention practices by having more accurate measurement through game-based approach.

As a practical technology, artificial intelligence has an important impact on the development of mobile media. Intelligent analysis and understanding of user behavior and realistic personalized service have become key factors in APP development. At the same time, China has entered the development stage of a deeply aging society, and the discussion on the "age-appropriate" design of smart phone APPs for elderly users is not sufficient. Through literature review, the physiological characteristics of the elderly are combed and analyzed. With the help of field interviews, the behavioral characteristics of the elderly are deeply studied and their characteristics are summarized. Based on this, the design and practice of smart phone "aging" APP are completed, and the theoretical model is constructed. It is hoped to provide reference for the design, development and renewal of digital products for the aged in China.

“…Gamified applications effectively address motivational deficits and offer engaging experiences that encompass enjoyment and motivation [17]. Digital cognitive training, especially within a home environment, yields improvements in memory, motivation, and the ability for long-term monitoring [1], [18], [19]. Involving users as co-designers plays a pivotal role in enhancing application design and tailoring it to the needs of specific user groups [20]- [22].…”

The prevalence of neurocognitive disorders has led to increased interest in mobile health applications (mHealth apps) for detection and training. However, there’s a need for apps that integrate comprehensive cognitive training, assessment, and monitoring in personalized contexts. The RODI app was meticulously developed with the objective of catering to individuals with deficits as well as healthy adults. In this study, 11 participants without diagnosed impairments used the app twice weekly for eight weeks. Results show a consistent enhancement in cognitive performance within the app over time. Notably, a discernible divergence is observed, with the rate of improvement appearing to be comparatively slower in the younger age group in contrast to their older counterparts. Furthermore, the study assesses the reliability of the application using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), confirming its consistent performance across repeated administrations. Finally, the app’s capacity to monitor participants’ cognitive status across various domains is investigated, unveiling controlled variations that indicate foreseeable outcomes within defined parameters. These findings underscore RODI’s potential for cognitive enhancement and monitoring, offering insights into user needs and the broader significance of mobile app interventions for cognitive well-being and future research in this field.
