Title of Design Memoir Monopoly One sentence summary A highly flexible reminiscing rehabilitation game platform for the elderly living with dementia to engage in interactive activities, including structured reminiscing, cognitive training, reality orientation, sensory stimulation, and social events. The problem we are addressing Tools for the rehabilitation of the elderly living with dementia are needed in Taiwan because those imported from overseas or initially designed for children are inappropriate for elderly users. Most paper-made rehabilitation tools have drawbacks such as inflexible designs or a limited ability to stimulate the user. Caregivers need more customized, interactive tools that meet the needs of the elderly and better reflect their personal experiences, because individual information is not easily included. Description of solution We designed a highly flexible reminiscing and touchable rehabilitation game on an all-in-one computer with user avatars on the screen for physical indications and game interaction. The platform is used to collect individual personal photos and preferences from home and upload them to the cloud. The individual contents were pulled together by the a hosting occupational therapist to create a unique monopoly map for the participants with an appropriate level of difficulty to suit their personal experiences, increase interest, and encourage recall of the past. Various cognitive stimuli, including watching movie clips, listening to favorite songs, and touching interactive games help participants experience a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction during the rehabilitation process. A record of the game process is sent to the cloud for analysis of relevant items for the materials that have been used during play. The results provide caregivers with recommended sources for future use in reminiscence activities with different groups.
