Abstract
We have developed a tablet version of the cognitive rehabilitation program “Ikiiki-Rihabiri”, which incorporates various non-pharmacological therapies, to expand its range of use. This study clarifies the effectiveness of the tablet version on the elderly with cognitive impairment by quantitative and qualitative evaluations and comparison with previous studies. As a result, no improvement in cognitive function over the original version was observed. However, there was improvement in the QOL evaluation “Restlessness”. These results indicate that the tablet version of “Ikiiki-Rihabiri” is effective in improving the QOL of the elderly with cognitive impairment similar to the original version, suggesting the possibility of using the tablet version.
