Timeline
Interventions
The program consists of 24 facilitated sessions and, depending on the capability of the participants, the availability of mobile devices and the service setting, 0 - 84 non-facilitated sessions. In 30-minute facilitated session, a program facilitator will lead 1-8 participants in playing the tablet-based interactive games and helpers (e.g., health workers, program workers, and volunteers) will assist the program facilitator in running the sessions. The games may be played individually or together with other participants. In non-facilitated sessions, the participants can play cognitive games depending on the capability of themselves and at their own pace for 10 - 30 minutes
