Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To examine whether a cognitive, physical, and social combined intervention (digital health program) involving e-sports and digital device with intergenerational exchange with younger individuals improves feelings of self-esteem in individuals with MCI/dementia and community-dwelling older adults, compared to a standard cognitive, physical, and social combined intervention also involving intergenerational exchange with younger individuals

Interventions/Control_1

Participants will engage in an intergenerational multimodal program that includes eSports once a week for 80 minutes for a total of four sessions Figure 2 along with interaction through tablet based applications iPad on the remaining days Figures 3 and 4 Instruction on iPad operation will be provided during each program session and the program will incorporate cognitive physical and social multimodal interventions that include elements such as cognitive stimulation exercise and nutritional guidance Figure 1 eSports activities will be conducted using the Nintendo Switch Nintendo The software used will include Taiko no Tatsujin 1 2 Switch Fishing Spirits Switch Sports and WarioWare selected from programs previously offered to community dwelling older adults at Kinjo University and evaluated as conducive to intergenerational interaction between older adults and healthy young adults.
For the interaction through iPad applications, the development of the application will be outsourced to Dynacom Co., Ltd. Under the guidance of Yoshimura, a specialist in communication for individuals with dementia, the application will be designed to minimize long text reading and complex, which are often difficult for people with dementia. Training on how to use the iPad and the application will be provided within the multimodal program. At home, with family support, participants will interact with healthy young adults via the application approximately once per day, at least three days per week. The time period for iPad-based interaction will be set between 7:00 and 19:00, during which participants will check and reply to messages at their convenience.

Interventions/Control_2

A multimodal intergenerational program without eSports will be conducted once a week for 80 minutes, for a total of four sessions (Figure 2). No additional interactions on other days, such as electronic device based communication, will be provided. The program will include cognitive, physical, and social multimodal interventions incorporating elements such as cognitive stimulation, exercise, and nutritional guidance.
