Abstract

Horticultural therapy is a non-pharmacologic intervention that has significant benefits of older adults. The aim of this paper is to design an interactive game app of horticultural therapy for aged people. The game is designed by following design methods.

The result is expected to benefit the elderly’s physiological conditions and psychological state; therefore, it supports not only the elderly who suffering from the disease such as Dementia but also the healthy aged people who pursuing quality of life (QOL).
