Developing an innovative automatic horizontal eye-rolling machine to enhance Intellectual well-being for the elderly in the community.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: An innovative automatic eye-rolling machine has been developed with a deep understanding of the user’s context. Its main goal is to stimulate and restore brain function in older people.
Objectives: This research and development study aims to: 1) develop and test an innovative participatory automatic horizontal eyerolling machine to enhance cognitive health in older people. 2) evaluate user satisfaction with the newly developed innovation.
Methods: The research and innovation development process involved three steps: 1) design and development of an innovative automatic horizontal eye-rolling machine for older people based on the problems and needs of community members, 2) users’ satisfaction evaluation after using the model, and 3) testing and evaluation. The participants comprised 61 village health volunteers and elders in the community selected by purposive sampling. There were 30 participants in the experimental group and 31 in the control group. The instruments used in this study included an in-depth interview, a quality assessment of the innovation of the automatic eye-tracking machine, and a satisfaction assessment of the users after using the model. Qualitative data was analyzed using a content analysis method, and the quantitative data were analyzed using a paired t-test and an independent t-test.
Results: 1) People in the community need fully automated technologies where only one button is required to be pressed. 2) The prototype of an innovative automatic horizontal eye-rolling machine enhanced Intellectual well-being for older people 3) The experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in average intelligence scores after using the innovation, compared to the control group (p<.001). 4) Overall user satisfaction with the innovation is rated at the highest level.
Conclusions: The innovative automatic horizontal eye-rolling machine can improve the intelligence levels of older people.
