Primary

MeasureTime frame

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The effects on cognitive abilities and depression are measured using the "Parkinson Neuropsychometrics Dementia Assessment" (PANDA) and the "Patient Health Questionnaire-4 - German Version" (PHQ-4) also before (t1) and after (t2) the app use. At the same time, game-relevant aspects, such as usage and game execution, are recorded by the app “Finger-Fertig” as well as frequency/duration of use, cancellations, game execution such as accuracy and points received.
