Abstract

In Mexico, the health gap has increased, so that the population with health problems exceeds the capacity of the available medical specialists. The population sector of the elderly has difficulty moving to medical care sites to undergo treatments. The use of eHealthy tools can help reduce the problem of the health gap by expanding the coverage of medical care to sectors of the population that have difficulties accessing health services. Neuropsychological tests can be digitized on mobile devices and help in the area of neuropsychology. It has been detected that tablets are an ideal mobile device for older adults due to the size of their screen and the different types of interaction they offer. Several neuropsychological tests have been developed: 10-word learning, Poppelreuter and Raven, among others, in tablets. In this paper we present the results of user experiences when testing these applications in seniors in various centers for older adults in Mexico City.
