🎉 Make Health Assessment a Simple and Fun Adventure
ICOPE (Integrated Care for Older People) is a digital system that combines wearable sensors, motion-sensing interactive games, and health assessment. Users simply wear two Rabboni motion sensors and control a game character through natural movements such as turning, stepping in place, raising hands, and sitting up, completing the ICOPE assessment of an older person's intrinsic abilities in a relaxed, game-like environment.
Based on the World Health Organization's (WHO) ICOPE concept, this system helps understand an older person's current intrinsic abilities across six dimensions: cognition, mobility, nutrition/activity, vision, hearing, and mental state. The WHO positions ICOPE as a people-centered care approach used to detect potential declines in intrinsic abilities early, serving as a basis for further assessment, personalized care, and ongoing monitoring.
🚀 Three Major Benefits: Testing Leads to Progress
Transforming the traditional ICOPE test from a paper-based questionnaire into an interactive and intelligent gamified testing experience.
The testing and gameplay itself is a fun physical activity and a relaxing workout that promotes health.
Providing immediate feedback and suggestions based on user test results.
✅ Six Core Capabilities, Mastered in One Go
1. Cognitive Game: Observing users' short-term memory and spatial and temporal cognitive abilities through picture memory and time/place inquiries. For example, the screen displays images of a bicycle, a mouse, and banknotes in sequence. Users must remember the content and their order, then recall or select in subsequent levels, seamlessly integrating cognitive assessment into the game process.
2. Nutrition Game: Understanding users' daily nutritional status and vitality through questions about eating habits, appetite, and nutrition, helping to identify potential nutritional risks. After the game, the system provides easy-to-understand health reminders based on the answers, such as suggestions for a balanced diet, hydration, and maintaining regular mealtimes.
3. Vision Game: Through tasks involving recognizing shapes, directions, and sizes on the screen, this game assesses the user's ability to see and recognize visual information, helping to identify visual problems that may require further attention.
4. Hearing Game: Playing sounds at different volumes, this game asks users to judge and respond based on what they hear, assessing their basic auditory perception and recognition abilities. The gamified approach transforms hearing assessment from a traditional questionnaire into a more interactive experience.
5. Mood Game: Through situational questions and simple Q&A, this game understands the user's recent emotions, life experiences, activity levels, and psychological state. The system operates in a friendly and non-pressured manner, guiding seniors to express their feelings and helping family members or caregivers recognize potential psychological needs.
6. Mobility Game: Using Rabboni sensors to detect body movements in real time, this game involves tasks such as stepping in place, turning, raising hands, and sitting up from a chair, observing the user's lower limb muscle strength, movement speed, body coordination, and mobility. For example, in the sit-up challenge, users must start in a sitting position and complete five sit-ups and stand-ups within a specified time. The system records the number of times completed and the user's performance in real time, making the mobility assessment more intuitive and engaging.
🎯 Applicable Scenarios
• The ICOPE APP can be used for:
• Community senior health promotion activities
• Day care centers and long-term care facilities
• Home health management
• Regular ability tracking and health education activities
• Through digital and gamified design, the system can increase seniors' willingness to undergo assessments and help caregivers complete initial screenings and follow-ups more efficiently.
❤️ Start caring about your health with a game
ICOPE Senior Inner Ability Assessment is more than just a game; it's a senior-centered, interactive health assessment tool. It integrates wearable sensing, motion control, ability assessment, and health feedback into a single platform, allowing seniors to understand their physical and mental state in a relaxed, safe, and fun way.
Regular assessments and continuous monitoring can help detect changes in abilities earlier and allow for timely access to appropriate health advice or care resources, moving towards healthy aging, maintaining independence, and improving quality of life.
⚠️The results from this app are primarily for health promotion, initial screening, and follow-up reference, and should not replace a formal diagnosis by a physician or other professional. If the assessment results indicate a potential decline in abilities, it is recommended to seek further evaluation from a medical or care professional.
