Evaluating Game Application Interfaces for Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

digital game is software that is used as alternative entertainment for older adults for brain training. In this study, a digital game prototype for older adults with mild cognitive impairment has been developed called EmoGame and illustrated. The game is intended to assist older adults who experience emotional and cognitive impairment that implement reminiscence therapy in the design of the user interface. Applications for older adults have been developed in many studies, but applications using a reminiscence therapy approach still need to be improved. User interface testing was carried out using the system usability scale (SUS). Interface testing with the SUS instrument was carried out in an organized and precisely measured using ten (10) questions as a benchmark for evaluation among twenty (20) respondents of, older adults. The results of the evaluation of the EmoGame prototype show an assessment score of 82, representing an excellent rating. Future work will improve the prototype to improve the design based on user feedback and iteratively improve the functionalities and interfaces and conduct a longitudinal study to investigate the effect of the games towards improving cognitive among older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
