MemoRecall: A Senior Friendly Web Application for Holistic Intervention of Early Memory Lapses in Geriatric Individuals
This research intends to investigate, design, and develop an online neuroenhancement tool using spaced repetition learning through games and flashcards, named MemoRecall for cognitive stimulation in geriatric patients. Pre-test and post-test assessments were done on thirty elderly participants of which three underwent pre-and-post-Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) evaluations. The analysis demonstrated marked improvement in cognition as well as effective memory stimulation with some interfaces needing refinement while adding introductory instructions was also suggested by users. The study emphasizes how MemoRecall can be used as a form of intervention, thus calling for better user guidance, optimal onboarding, and long-term research to enhance its efficacy. The functional efficiency checking of MemoRecall has shown that this platform is quite invulnerable since it possesses several features. MemoRecall appeared to be generally enjoyable for most users according to the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) scale. Most of the respondents agreed that it was attractive (1.678) and stimulating (1.633). The users’ preference in games suggested that Sudoku card games were still the most favored followed closely by Trivia Quizzes and Mental Math card games.
