Alzheimer's disease limits daily life performance due to decreased memory, attention, and execution functions, and increases the socioeconomic burden along with aging. This study proposes a digital treatment system that integrates target cognitive training content with a low-complex physical button interface that prioritizes elderly friendliness. The proposed system is based on USB serial linkage between a controller composed of five buttons including a built-in LED and an Arduino family microcontroller-PC application, and provides immediate feedback of LEDs and sounds on button input. The content is the same three types of picture search, shopping, and archery, which target visual identification, attention, long-term memory connection, space-time sensation, and reaction speed, respectively. Each content simplifies the rules and applies an adaptive difficulty level that controls the number of stimuli, exposure time, and obstructive stimulation density, and logging the accuracy, reaction time, and content completion rate of each content with the standard schema is used for personalized training and future evaluation. The prototype moves to the right 4 buttons, is designed with selection and launch route operation mapping through the large left button, and is configured to reduce the onboarding burden and the risk of erroneous input through design consistency such as feedback rule process and common data model. The proposed system has the potential to be introduced in various environments such as nursing homes and homes in the future, and plans to verify clinical effectiveness and compliance indicators by conducting formative usability evaluation and small pilot and wireless module expansion as follow-up studies.
