Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, a more specific and systematic Home-Based Cognitive Rehabilitation Program Driven by a Tablet Application is developed and the purpose of the program is to check whether cognitive function is improved when the program is applied to patients with MCI.
Detailed Description
The subjects of recruitment were the elderly with mild cognitive impairment living in the local community. Assessments were conducted 7 days before and after the intervention. Subjects received Korean-Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA), semantic verbal emory test (SVLT), number memorization test; Digit Span Test (DST), category word fluency test (CWFT), phonemic word fluency test (PWFT), Korean-mini mental state test (K-MMSE), and geriatric depression scale (GDS) before and 8 weeks after the intervention.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change of the Korean-Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 8
It is a tool to evaluate overall cognitive function. Possible scores range from 0(lowest cognitive function) to 30 (highest cognitive function). Change = Paired t-test with baseline score and week 8 score.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change of the semantic verbal emory test (SVLT) score(Baseline and Week 8)
- Change of the phonemic word fluency test (PWFT) score(Baseline and Week 8)
- Change of the category word fluency test (CWFT) score(Baseline and Week 8)
- Change of the Digit Span Test (DST) score(Baseline and Week 8)
- Change of the geriatric depression scale (GDS) score(Baseline and Week 8)
