Elderly Care
Robot-based Cognitive Training Game helps Revitalizing Brain and Preventing Dementia.
Dementia Prevention is the best solution and treatment for it since its cause hasn’t been known yet precisely.
It is known that making any connection with each brain cell not to be cut off is very important by cognition training (Brain Fitness) as the best way to prevent dementia.
RoboCare’s Dementia Prevention System for elder Care consists of total 17 cognition training games connected to smart pads and the robot, so that specialized and systematic training can be provided.
It was proven that cognition training with this robotic system is effective to prevent dementia and now, the system is being operated in Gangnam-gu Center for Dementia, Samsung Noble County, Busan Center for Dementia, Korea and Vika Garden (elder care center), Denmark.
Introducing Elderly care
Improvement in cognitive ability proved clinically
Compared to the control group, subject who who underwent 3 months of robot-assisted cognitive training showed cortical thickening.
