Adaptive Cognitive Training Apparatus for Stroke Patients
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cognitive training methods for patients with brain damage due to diseases like stroke and dementia are often repetitive and fail to maintain patient immersion, leading to boredom and reduced effectiveness in improving cognitive abilities.
Innovation Solution
A cognitive training apparatus and method that uses a display module, memory for health status information and multimedia content, and a control module to select and organize game content tailored to the patient's health status, providing alternating overall brain stimulation and specific area brain stimulation through interactive tasks within a story-based framework.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If simple repetition of conventional cognitive training is performed, then cognitive training can be provided, but patients become bored and cannot remain immersed in the training for a long time
Solution Approach 1:
The cognitive training system dynamically adapts the training content by alternating between overall brain stimulation tasks and specific area brain stimulation tasks based on real-time detection of patient immersion levels. This dynamic adjustment maintains patient engagement while providing comprehensive cognitive training, resolving the contradiction between simple repetitive training and sustained patient immersion.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional cognitive training methods are used, then training can be provided, but the training lacks personalization and adaptability to individual patient needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors patient immersion levels and provides feedback to adjust the training content accordingly. When immersion is detected, the system transitions between different types of brain stimulation tasks, creating a personalized training experience that adapts to individual patient needs while maintaining ease of implementation through automated monitoring and adjustment.
3Reliability
If alternating overall brain stimulation and specific area brain stimulation is provided, then patient immersion and training effectiveness are enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cognitive training system is segmented into distinct modules: overall brain stimulation tasks and specific area brain stimulation tasks. The control unit selectively activates appropriate modules based on detected immersion levels, providing comprehensive brain stimulation while managing system complexity through modular design and selective activation.
