During the year 2020 in Colombia, it was estimated that around 5.2% of the population over 60years of age suffered from some major neurocognitive disorderand 70% of these suffer from Alzheimer's or other diseases that cause memory loss or impairment.There are no curative or modifying treatments for this disease,so it must be controlled through pharmaceuticaltreatment and cognitive therapy; Additionally, movement difficulties and limitations are commonly founded in elderly people, that often, don’t have the means necessary to accessspecialized centers in order to receive cognitive therapy treatments.On par with this and aside from the lack of awareness and information regarding this disorder, there is a lack of tools and resources that help elderly patients, their families,and caretakers to executecognitive therapy from their homes, this project aims to generate home resources that provide cognitive stimuli and support for Alzheimer patients and their close circle in order to perform integral therapy from their home.
