Cognitive Training System for Dementia Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cognitive interventional treatments for dementia prevention are costly and inaccessible to general users due to the requirement of visiting a hospital or institution and the high cost of specialized computing devices, limiting their effectiveness in preventing the rapid increase of dementia cases.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for improving cognitive ability that provides a comprehensive, multi-area intervention program for dementia prevention, utilizing a content providing module, input module, analyzing module, and machine learning module to offer customized content based on individual user data, allowing implementation both in institutional and at-home settings through a network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional cognitive interventional treatment is provided through hospital or institution visits under expert supervision, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but treatment cost increases to KRW 50,000 to 120,000 per session
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the institutional treatment environment through a computing device system. The content providing module delivers cognitive training content that replicates the therapeutic effects of expert-supervised sessions, allowing users to receive equivalent treatment at home without requiring physical presence at expensive facilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a computing device as an intermediary between the user and the treatment content. This intermediary delivers personalized cognitive training programs automatically, replacing the need for continuous expert supervision while maintaining treatment effectiveness through algorithmic content delivery and progress tracking.
2Adaptability or versatility
If specialized computing devices are used for cognitive interventional treatment, then treatment accessibility is improved, but device cost reaches KRW 50 million per device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the computing device system to perform multiple functions: delivering cognitive training content, tracking user progress, providing feedback, and adapting to different user needs. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple specialized devices into a single versatile platform, reducing overall system cost while expanding accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to independently access and complete cognitive training programs without requiring expensive specialized equipment or constant expert intervention. The automated content delivery and progress monitoring allow users to self-administer treatment at home using standard computing devices, dramatically reducing the barrier to entry.
3Reliability
If comprehensive multi-area intervention program is provided to address individual characteristics, then dementia prevention effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the comprehensive cognitive training program into distinct content modules covering different cognitive domains (memory, attention, executive function, etc.). Each module can be independently delivered and tracked, allowing the system to provide comprehensive multi-area intervention while managing complexity through modular content organization and targeted delivery based on user needs.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for improving cognitive ability includes a content providing module configured to provide a cognitive ability improving content; an input module configured to receive learning data of the user for the cognitive ability improving content; an analyzing module configured to calculate performance information of each of a plurality of cognitive areas based on the learning data; and a machine learning module configured to store a learning result by machine learning using a preset training data set and determine a characteristic of a cognitive ability improving content to be provided to a user by using the performance information of each of the plurality of cognitive areas and the learning result. According to the system for improving cognitive ability, it is possible to provide a content in the form of a comprehensive program including multi-area intervention important for dementia prevention and perform a customized dementia prevention function by reflecting individual characteristics.
