Mixed Reality Ecosystem Architecture to Support Visuoconstructive Ability in Older Adults

Abstract

Nowadays, Senile Dementia is one of the most recurrent ailments related to aging as brain functions begin to deteriorate, making the elderly more dependent on others to take care of them. Using ecosystems with mixed reality allows them to have an easier way to their activities, have some independence, improve their quality of life and do exercise routines by themselves with the help of the Internet for remote control monitoring. This work proposes an architectural model for a mixed reality ecosystem to support older adults’ daily activities. The work advocates the design of the ecosystem components, which are used in two scenarios for the rehabilitation of the visuo-constructive ability of patients, making a more adequate and detailed combination and implementation of connectivity, software and peripherals.
