| MouvMat: The Interactive Digital Exergaming Surface for Older AdultsMouvMat is an interactive digital gaming surface to provide physical activity, cognitive stimulation, and social engagement to older adults. Our systematic review found that existing exergames have potential to improve physical and cognitive health of older adults in nursing homes. However, since these games are not designed for their specific needs and interests, older adults are less likely to engage with these games to achieve the benefits. Uniquely, MouvMat has been co-created with older adults living in nursing homes, along with their healthcare professionals and healthcare administrators. It features illuminating interface and provides visual feedback to older adults during the game. The Players interact directly with the digital surface which display simplified games that are familiar and geared toward older adults. By providing older adults a fun and social way to increase their physical activity, MouvMat optimizes their physical and social health and their ability to age gracefully.

| Real-time location systems technology in the care of older adults with cognitive impairment living in residential care: A scoping reviewIntroduction: There has been growing interest in using real-time location systems (RTLS) in residential care settings. This technology has clinical applications for locating residents within a care unit and as a nurse call system, and can also be used to gather information about movement, location, and activity over time. RTLS thus provides health data to track markers of health and wellbeing and augment healthcare decisions. To date, no reviews have examined the potential use of RTLS data in caring for older adults with cognitive impairment living in a residential care setting.
Objective: This scoping review aims to explore the use of data from real-time locating systems (RTLS) technology to inform clinical measures and augment healthcare decision-making in the care of older adults with cognitive impairment who live in residential care settings.
Methods: Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), APA PsycINFO (Ovid) and IEEE Xplore databases were searched for published English-language articles that reported the results of studies that investigated RTLS technologies in persons aged 50 years or older with cognitive impairment who were living in a residential care setting. Included studies were summarized, compared and synthesized according to the study outcomes.
Results: A total of 27 studies were included. RTLS data were used to assess activity levels, characterization of wandering, cognition, social interaction, and to monitor a resident’s health and wellbeing. These RTLS-based measures were not consistently validated against clinical measurements or clinically important outcomes, and no studies have examined their effectiveness or impact on decision-making.
Conclusion: This scoping review describes how data from RTLS technology has been used to support clinical care of older adults with dementia. Research efforts have progressed from using the data to track activity levels to, most recently, using the data to inform clinical decision-making and as a predictor of delirium. Future studies are needed to validate RTLS-based health indices and examine how these indices can be used to inform decision-making.AWCRP-2020-02 Toronto Rehab Institute, University Health Network, University of Toronto, Toronto Rehab Institute/University of Toronto, KITE Research Institute at University Health Network | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2022-11-10 | | AWCRP-2020-02 |
