Analysis, Design And Development Of Digital Application Prototype For Cognitive Assessment And Training

The issue of healthy aging and the constant increase in the number of older adults is of concern from different points of view. The work arose from the need to analyze the state of the art of tests for the evaluation and cognitive training for older adults at a distance or in virtual mode, knowing which were the main digital applications, their different modes of operation, and their psychometric characteristics, to analyze and project its application in Chile. From this, it was decided to develop a pilot application, which included five items or tests: the Trail Making Test (A and B), the Bell Test, the Visual Categorization task, and the Anxiety (Hamilton) and Depression (Yesavage). The application was developed on the Psychopy platform (Python), it is operative in a web service, and a first functionality, usability and user experience test was carried out with five adults. Statistical and comparative tables were prepared based on the results.
