Developing a puzzle game to help dementia patients defer the progressive cognitive deterioration

 

The venture aims to design and produce a puzzle game to help dementia patients defer the progressive cognitive deterioration through interacting and communicating with their families, caregivers and friends. The game will come in both online and offline versions. The online version is an apt training tool for dementia patients when physical contact is to be minimised under the COVID-19 epidemic.

Self-cleaning technology/silver-ion coating with lotus water-repelling technology will be applied to the physical product to protect users from virus and bacteria.
