Improvement of Drawing Process-Based Cognitive Function-Testing Application for Group Assessment

Amid Japan's rapidly aging population, there is a growing challenge posed by dementia patients, underscoring the importance of regular cognitive function assessments conducted in group settings. In our earlier investigation, we focused on digitizing drawing tests and developed the web-based platform “EVIDENT,” which facilitates comprehensive administration, diagnosis, and analysis. However, concerns regarding security and operational logistics have constrained its applicability for group-based assessments. This paper presents “EVIDENT-GROUP,” a refined version of EVIDENT tailored specifically for conducting group drawing assessments. Initial trials conducted in day care facilities demonstrate the smooth execution of drawing tests in real-world environments.
