Abstract

BACKGROUND: Early assessment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults is crucial, as it enables timely interventions and decision-making. In recent years, researchers have been exploring the potential of gamified interactive systems (GISs) to assess pathological cognitive decline. However, effective methods for integrating these systems and designing GISs that are both engaging and accurate in assessing cognitive decline are still under investigation.
