Development of a cognitive rehabilitation content using smart blocks

Abstract

We developed a new cognitive rehabilitation content, called "Family tree", based on the internet of things (IoT). The content consisted of three interactive parts, a smart phone application, a smart block and a family tree game board. We designed the content to cover an exercise therapy method, an emotional stimulation method and a memory training method for the cognitive rehabilitation of patients. Since our content includes various treatment strategies, it could be applied to develop effective cognitive rehabilitation contents for improving long-term memory, working memory, concentration and fine motor skill.
