| Serious Game Assessment of Cognitive Status in Dementia and Abnormal Aging: Unified and Fractionated Approaches. Existing methods of cognitive screening typically rely on face-to-face assessments by a clinician, and they are infrequently administered. They can also be time consuming and costly to administer. As a supplement to existing methods of cognitive screening, we propose the use of serious games, which are games designed for a primary purpose other than entertainment. Serious games can potentially assess a variety of factors associated with cognitive decline in conditions such as delirium, dementia, and frailty. In this paper, we show that a serious game that assesses executive functioning shows the potential for using a future generation of serious games to screen for delirium and dementia, and we also demonstrate a statistically significant relationship of performance on our serious game with frailty and functional status. We also discuss the development and use of additional serious games that focus on the assessment of specific cognitive functions that are affected by the progression of dementia. 6.1 MEN-ASSESS University of Toronto, Sunnybrook Health Sciences | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2016-10-11 | |

| Cognitive Assessment of Executive Functions using Serious Games This presentation will review several years of work on developing serious games for cognitive assessment with particular focus on executive functioning. First reviewed is a game that Dr. Mark Chignell has developed for delirium screening in emergency departments, with Dr. Jacques Lee of Sunnybrook and Mt. Sinai hospitals.
Next presented is a battery of serious games that Dr. Chignell and his team are developing with Dr. Bruce Morton of Western University. Currently, a set of six games implements six different psychological tasks (cognitive speed, response inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility, spatial attention, delayed match to sample), but with a common whacamole game design.
Each game will be demonstrated before presenting BrainTagger, a social media-friendly version of the game that is being used to collect normative data for different age groups. Experimental data will be presented showing that this response-inhibition game is highly correlated with the Go/No-Go task, a standard psychological measure of response inhibition.
Next discussed are plans for using fMRI brain scanning while playing these games to validate the types of brain activation that are produced by playing each game. After the presentation, Dr. Chignell would like to have a discussion on the role of serious games in cognitive assessment, and the benefits of having frequent cognitive assessment as people get older.

| Mobile Executive Functions testing workshopWe conducted a workshop on mobile executive functions testing at Western University. In this workshop, we demoed our existing TAG-ME games and discussed how they can be used to evaluate the cognitive status of children and the elderly. We gathered the requirements for the next iterations of TAG-ME games for future research studies to validate the games. 6.1 MEN-ASSESS, AWCAT-2019-138 Western University, University of Toronto | KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization | 2019-07-26 | |
| Ubiquitous Cognitive Assessment in the Aging PopulationCognitive status affects health outcomes and functional independence, but cognitive assessments of older people are infrequent. We are developing scientifically validated game-based assessment tools that allow older people to be tested across a battery of cognitive abilities relevant to functional independence, and general wellbeing. In this poster we report on past progress and future plans. We briefly describe the six games developed thus far (which can be played at the conference in the Centivizer exhibit). We summarize research that has already validated our games for measuring cognitive speed and response inhibition. We then discuss our plans for further validation of the games using fMRI brain scanning and experiments. Our goal is not only to characterize cognitive ability in terms of specific cognitive processes, but also to use machine learning to predict problems (e.g., lesions) in brain areas and pathways based on detailed performance across our suite of games.AWCAT-2019-138 University of Toronto, Western University | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2019-10-23 | |
| Designing the BrainTagger Researcher Platform to Automate Development of Customized Cognitive GamesSerious games have grown significantly in popularity, but proving their scientific validity through research studies is a common hurdle for researchers and game developers. To scale up capacity to collaborate with different groups of researchers, Centivizer Inc. (a University of Toronto spinoff company) has employed a user-centered design process to design a BrainTagger Research Platform (BRP) that will largely automate the development process of its customizable serious games for cognitive assessment. This new development will increase the capacity to gather research data needed to improve game mechanisms and demonstrate game validity.6.1 MEN-ASSESS, AWCAT-2019-138 University of Toronto | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2021-03-29 | |

From Fernandez:
In Hacking Health 2016 in Edmonton, I participated as software engineering mentor, I brought my expertise and experience in developing games for rehabilitation, Kinect, CPR Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training, and virtual simulation of human behaviour. The team, "SPINOIS NAP", was very useful the information about Kinect hardware in the implementation. They present a prototype which helps to maintain the correct posture during long hours seating in front of the computer.
