Brief Summary: Detecting memory problems early is crucial for treating conditions like Mild Cognitive Impairment MCI which often leads to dementia Currently doctors use tests in clinics to check for these issues However theres a growing need for better methods to monitor our cognitive skills over time Computer games emerge as a cost-effective solution for assessing the brain functions of older adults

In our study we are investigating the potential of computer games to reflect the cognitive skills of older adults We developed the VibrantMinds platform featuring five games Whack-a-Mole Bejeweled Mahjong Solitaire Word Search and Memory Game We have evaluated these games for ease of use enjoyment and their impact on brain functions Now our goal is to determine whether these games can offer valuable insights into the cognitive skills of older adults

We are collecting demographic data game-playing data and cognitive test results Our analysis will determine the correlation between game data cognitive test outcomes and demographic information Additionally we will assess both the perceived and observed engagement of older adults as they play the games
