Smartkuber is a game designed to both stimulate and test cognitive ability. The game uses wooden blocks and a mobile device as the interactive components. The game challenges are presented on the phone, the player then constructs the answer using the blocks, and uses the phone to check their answer, get a score and move on to the next challenge.
The game is designed to substitute for traditional paper cognitive screening tests. Smartkuber includes games which strongly correlate with test performance in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment tool.
The current implementation is being extended to encourage play between Elderly and young children. The social aspects and the automatic detection of the player are important improvements in the long term commercial prospects of the game.
