The Horizon 2020-funded VirtualBrainCloud project is developing a decision support system for clinicians, aiming to enhance the early diagnosis and personalised treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's disease. As part of the VirtualBrainCloud project, Eodyne is adapting its RGS interactive platform for neurorehabilitation, aiming to tailor this platform to meet the needs of people with neurodegenerative disease.
On 29 April and 7 May, Alzheimer Europe organised consultations with the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD), to provide Eodyne with feedback from the perspectives of people with dementia. Following on from a December consultation, which assessed the preferences for different platform formats (e.g. smartphone or computer), these consultations were designed to test the Eodyne RGSApp, a smartphone-based app which includes several "brain training" games. The consultations were facilitated by Ana Diaz and Dianne Gove from Alzheimer Europe, as well as Santiago Brandi and Marc Domenech from Eodyne.
Over the course of a week, participants learned how to use the RGSApp and then trialled each of the games, providing valuable feedback on the acceptability and useability of the platform and each of the games hosted in RGSApp. This feedback will now be used to further adapt and modify RGSApp, with further consultations anticipated over the coming months.
