Mind gymnastics for good intellectual health of elderly people - MindGym

MindGym aims at improving the quality of life of older citizens and their caregivers by applying mind gymnastics that will keep the elderly active in vital mental shape. We plan to realize multidisciplinary research and innovation actions to achieve the following objectives: understanding the mental health conditions, preventing disruptive mental disorders and their early diagnosis, and mind gymnastic treatment. The target of this research is to influence mental conditions that lead to some mental disorders, such as depression, dementia, sedentariness, cognitive decline and personality disorders, which are present in older people, but can also be experienced earlier.
