Summary

This study explored whether playing a computer game that simulates grocery shopping could help older adults in a hospital improve their memory, attention, and ability to manage money. Fifteen people aged 50 and older took part, with some playing the game and others receiving standard care. The goal was to see if the game was a useful tool for rehabilitation and safe discharge planning.
