To Remember: plataforma de jogos sérios com ajuste adaptativo de dificuldade e gestão do cuidado no Alzheimer

Abstract

Alzheimer’s Disease is the leading cause of dementia worldwide, progressively impairing the memory and functionality of millions of people. Given the limited efficacy of pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological cognitive interventions play a growing role. This work presents To Remember, a mobile cognitive stimulation application consisting of two serious games aimed at patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. The solution is characterized by the use of visual stimuli from the Bank of Standardized Stimuli, the integration of a fuzzy controller for adaptive difficulty adjustment, and the possibility of monitoring through an integrated network of caregivers. Developed with Flutter and Supabase, the system has been fully implemented and is functional, with its main contribution being the integration of rigor in stimulus selection, individualized adaptation, and support for the care network. As a current limitation, the software has not undergone clinical or usability testing with the target audience. Future work plans include conducting these empirical evaluations and technically adapting the platform for publication on the Google Play Store.
