简要总结
Mild cognitive impairment is a common intermediate stage between normal aging and dementia, affecting memory and other cognitive domains in older adults. While pharmacologic treatments lack strong evidence, exercise, cognitive training, and game-based interventions have shown positive effects on cognitive functions. The Cogniplat gaming platform, designed to improve cognitive abilities through personalized, multidisciplinary game exercises, has not yet been clinically evaluated. The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of Cogniplat in enhancing cognitive functions in geriatric individuals.
详细描述
Mild cognitive impairment may occur with physiological aging in geriatric individuals. This describes an intermediate stage from normal cognitive status to dementia. In mild cognitive impairment, there is cognitive impairment in both memory and non-memory domains. Anxiety, depression and other adverse mental health conditions also lead to decreased cognitive functioning. The risk of mild cognitive impairment turning into dementia is quite high. Therefore, diagnosis, follow-up and treatment are important issues. Mild cognitive impairment is common in geriatric populations. Its prevalence increases with age and low education level. The incidence of mild cognitive impairment in geriatric individuals aged 65 years and older is 15-20%.
There is no high quality evidence showing the efficacy of pharmacologic agents in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment. There are also studies showing that exercise and cognitive training have an improving effect on cognitive functions. Cognitive games also have a stimulating effect on memory and communication in these individuals. Game-based education reduces the risk of mild cognitive impairment and depression by stimulating the cerebral cortex and also motivates older adults to participate in treatment. Computer-based cognitive gaming training has been found to have positive effects on attention ability and memory development in this population.
The Cogniplat game platform used in the study is a rehabilitation tool developed to improve the cognitive functions of elderly individuals. Cogniplat is based on a multidisciplinary approach combining theories from neuropsychology, cognitive linguistics and speech therapy. It focuses on improving cognitive functions through different game exercises. In addition, Cogniplat automatically adjusts the difficulty and type of exercises by detecting the cognitive needs of individuals. In the literature, the Cogniplat game platform has been developed, but no studies evaluating its effectiveness have been found. Therefore, the present study was planned to examine the effect of the "Cogniplat" game platform on cognitive functions in geriatric individuals.

结局指标
主要结局
Mini-Mental Test
时间窗: At baseline and 10 week after
The Mini-Mental Test consists of eleven items under five main headings: orientation, recording memory, attention and calculation, recall and language, and is evaluated on a total of 30 points. A score of 23/24 is accepted as the threshold for the diagnosis of mild dementia in Turkish elderly
Game Platform Scoring
时间窗: At baseline and 10 week after
For each game played on the platform, game duration, accuracy and speed variables were recorded on the servers connected to the platform. Individuals in both the study and control groups played a game on the platform, and the score of this game was recorded on the system and used in the analysis.Game duration, accuracy and speed will be aggregated into a single game performance score automatically generated by the platform and recorded for analysis
