Abstract
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a precursor to dementia and its early diagnosis in patients is important for appropriate intervention. In this study, an IoT (Internet of Things) device is developed that easily and conveniently screens for MCI, provides emotional comfort for elderly patients, and has a friendly design. It enables us to screen MCI by efficiently identifying the user's condition in non-face-to-face manner. The experimental result and survey of this study show that this device will establish itself as a distinguished companion doll that can be widely shared with the elderly.
