Andong City Dementia Safety Center is operating a cognitive enhancement class with the dementia prevention robot 'Silbot'.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Dementia Safety Center in Andong-si, Gyeongbuk, is receiving great responses by operating a cognitive enhancement class for elderly individuals diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, who are considered high-risk for dementia.

The 'Cognitive Enhancement Class' is held every Thursday at 10 a.m., strictly adhering to COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

This program combines education about dementia with cognitive enhancement activities, using the dementia prevention robot 'Silbot' to help elderly participants dance and sing to prevent dementia.

The robot 'Silbot' encourages dementia patients or those at risk to follow along with dances and songs, thereby improving cognitive abilities and activity levels.

Step-by-step cognitive programs tailored to the elderly's level are provided, allowing participants to feel a sense of achievement as they progress to the next stage, which helps improve brain health.

A representative from the city’s Dementia Safety Center stated, “We will do our best to prevent symptom deterioration in those with cognitive decline and to prevent dementia by operating active and high-quality cognitive education programs aimed at maintaining daily living functions.”
