Desarrollo de prototipo de producto de estimulación sensorial y cognitiva para adultos mayores

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to design a prototype product for sensory and cognitive stimulation for older adults. This design took into account the specific needs of this population. The methodology used was Design Thinking, which helped us implement innovative ideas based on the needs of older adults. Thanks to this approach, we were able to develop a kit, a manipulative booklet with sensory and cognitive activities called "SeniorSense." This product aims to slow cognitive decline and maintain active mental skills through interactive and manipulative activities with 3D tiles. We were able to create a practical and accessible product, designed to be integrated into an intervention plan or into the daily lives of this population. The proposed activities promote active and healthy aging, improving the emotional health and quality of life of older adults. Finally, the prototype's validation confirmed its effectiveness, demonstrating that it meets its objectives and offers a valuable tool for older adults and caregivers.
