Personalized Sensory Stimulation: Urban and Rural Dementia Care

Brief Summary

As Taiwan transitions into a super-aged society, rising dementia rates have severely strained long-term care systems. Although current daycare centers provide multi-modal programs, they remain limited to behavioral training, lacking precise interventions targeting brain function and neuroplasticity or integrated non-invasive neuromodulation technologies. Furthermore, urban-rural disparities in resources, staffing allocation, and tech experience hinder practical deployment, with empirical research remaining scarce. Addressing this gap, this study investigates a smart brain health promotion model combining personalized gamma music stimulation and cognitive training for mild cognitive impairment and dementia, while evaluating its feasibility across diverse care settings.
