Abstract

The general public's interest in dementia has increased recently as dementia has become a social issue due to its rapid aging. Several dementia prevention and rehabilitation programs are being carried out at the dementia rehabilitation center and at the old welfare center depending on the number of dementia patients. In this paper, a 3 dimensional finger and motion search of the leap motion is utilized and combined with dementia preventive and cognitive rehabilitation programs at various facilities. We suggest technologies that can provide both fun and effective treatment and rehabilitation content for rehabilitation therapists. A variety of cognitive enhancement content is designed using finger tracking and configured to be recorded in the database for rehabilitation programmes to increase the effectiveness of management.

최근 급속한 고령화로 인해 치매가 사회적 문제로 대두되면서 치매에 대한 일반 대중의 관심이 증가하였다. 늘어나는 치매환자수에 따라 치매 재활센터, 노인 복지관에서는 여러 치매 예방 및 재활 프로그램이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 손가락 및 동작 스캔이 가능한 립 모션(leap motion)을 활용하여 다양한 시설에서 진행되고 있는 치매 예방 및 인지 재활 프로그램과 접목시킨다. 개발하고자 하는 기술은 재활 치료사들의 치료 및 재활 내용을 재미와 효과를 함께 제공할 수 있는 기술을 제안하고자 한다. 손가락 추적을 이용하여 다양한 인지 증강 콘텐츠를 설계하고, 재활 교육의 기록이 데이터베이스에 기록되도록 구성하여 재활 프로그램의 관리의 효율성을 증대시키고자 하였다.
