Abstract
Specialist in mental health and neuropsychology apply tests to patients to evaluate impairment level of people cortical functions. Luria tests are designed to treat defects caused by local lesions that may affect the higher functions of the man. In particular, Luria test study the memory and intellectual processes. An application of Luria test is determinate the level of memory impairment. An example of suffers of memory impairment are older adults. The application efficiency of Luria memory tests in older adults decreases owing to biological factor such as inability moving to place of performance testing. In addition, there are a great demand for health services compared with the number specialist capable of addressing mental deterioration. This increases the complexity of control and monitoring patients. A solution for the problem of application efficiency of Luria tests is a digital implementation of the Luria tests on mobile devices, taking advantages of the characteristic of mobile computing. This solution requires an analysis of the Luria memory tests considerate the HCI factors, the different mobile interfaces, the elements of interaction of mobile devices and in the case study of older adults, the special considerations for this kind of people.
