CURATE.Dtx as a Diagnostic and Management Tool for Delirium
Sponsor: Institute for Digital Medicine (WisDM)
Summary
Inpatient delirium incidence is widely documented in international and local studies, however, there is no viable and labour-free delirium detection and management tool. CURATE.DTx is our tablet ready, multi-tasking serious game, that leverage a small data artificial intelligence-derived platform that can dynamically personalise cognitive training by modifying the game intensity. The main aims of this study are to explore the feasibility and usability of this new digital tool to aid in the delirium screening and management of at-risk delirium hospitalized patients.

CURATE.Dtx
CURATE.Dtx is a self-guided digital multitasking game that involves a combination of four subtasks played simultaneously, targeting different cognitive domains.
Optional games
The patient will first be asked how he/she feels and what they have done that day. The patient then selects a digital local pet (dog, cat, bird) and can customize its appearance, name and background location. The player can interact with their pet via several actions such as feed, bathe, train and accessorize. Playing with digital pets can help reduce stress and anxiety in the elderly. It can be a positive distraction in alleviating the elderly's worries and discomforts. In order to purchase accessories for their digital pet, they are encouraged to play short games that include Grocery Snap, Down Memory Lane and Pet Escape. These games are aimed at improving memory and reduce cognitive decline.
