Savion: An Interactive Cognitive Enhancement Software for the Elderly.

Abstract

Non-pharmacological interventions are  currently  investigated  as  a means to  enhance everyday  cognitive  and adaptive/social functioning. Computer-based   programs   afford   greater   ease   and   reduced   cost of administration,   features   that   are   often   critical   for  patient enrollment and compliance. Here we discuss potential advantages of  such  programs  for  improving  quality  of  life  and patient-caregiver  daily  interactions  and  suggest  optimal  procedures  to  be followed  during  linguistic  and  cultural  adaptation of  the  Savion program in Greek.
