Health, Biomedicine, Active ageing
Using this system, it is possible to measure and assess the patient¿s cognitive ability remotely, relay the information to healthcare professionals so that they can react if the established values go down, and automatically propose a personalised cognitive stimulation plan to improve the patient¿s condition.
The platform makes it possible to design new organisational models for caring for the elderly, allowing all the stakeholders involved ¿ patients, carers, primary care professionals and specialists ¿ to interact. It also makes it possible to monitor the progress of patients throughout their ageing stage, thus improving their quality of life.
This infrastructure incorporates clinical knowledge provided by Madrid City Council healthcare professionals. A version in production, including the stimulation exercises, is currently available online and is open to the public through Madrid City Council, specifically through its Cognitive Deterioration Prevention Centre.
