Abstract

Cognitive stimulation helps to improve the performance of daily life activities and life quality of elderly people. Most computer-based applications for cognitive training do not support user adaptation at run-time, and are designed for individual use, not for groups. Adaptation allows performing more effective ecological stimulation programs. The cognitive training in group is beneficial due to social interaction. This paper presents the solutions applied to a cognitive stimulation web application called VIRTRAEL, whose exercises can be adapted to the user at run time and they can be performed in a collaborative way.
