Summary

Introduction: New technologies are a support in the rehabilitation of users. The therapeutic approach to cognitive rehabilitation encompasses a variety of techniques, among which traditional occupational therapy stands out. This modality includes a series of interventions such as cognitive stimulation through the use of cards, functional activities, psychomotor exercises, the application of sensory stimuli and the incorporation of music therapy. An additional alternative is to integrate a cognitive stimulation program such as NeuronUP, which is a computerized tool. This integration can increase adherence to treatment and contribute to preserving or improving the individual's cognitive functioning and improving quality of life.

Objective: The objective established for this study was to verify whether the combination of occupational therapy with the NeuronUP computer program improves or maintains the cognitive status and quality of life of users with Alzheimer's disease. In addition, to determine whether the use of this program leads to greater adherence to treatment by patients.

Material and methods: This is a randomized clinical trial. Participants' cognitive status will be assessed using the MEC (Mini Cognitive Examination) tool, cognitive skills using the LOTCA (Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment), and perceived quality of life using the Whoqol-Bref questionnaire. At the end of treatment, the CSQ-8, a tool designed to determine the degree of user satisfaction, will be administered.
