The use of «Peak & Neuronation» digital applications for the inclusion of older adults : a case study at USALBI

Given the physiological and cognitive degeneration associated with aging, it is important to promote initiatives that prevent situations that may increase dementia among the elderly. The objective of the research was to investigate whether the use of Peak & Neuronation digital applications can contribute to the active aging of the elderly, with respect to the cognitive training they provide. The group of 18 students from the Computer Science discipline of the University of Albacetetrense (USALBI), aged 56-80, was involved. The applied methodology was qualitative: the case study; nonparticipating observation; surveys by questionnaire; semistructured interviews. The analysis of the data was collected in 12 practical sessions of utilization of the APPs demonstrated to be an added value and that should be referenced as digital tools within the framework of the cognitive training of the elderly.
