Summary: Globally, older adults grow faster than the rest of the population (United Nations et al., 2019). Ecuador predicts 2054 this group will represent 18% of the population. Cognitive and functional impairment affects quality of life of individuals and their families. Conditions such as dementia have increased, with almost 100,000 people affected in Ecuador.

Pharmacological treatments have modest efficacy for these problems (Buckley & Salpeter, 2015). In developed countries there are efforts to use non-pharmacological interventions (Klimova et al., 2016). In this context, computer-based cognitive interventions are considered a therapeutic tool to treat neurocognitive disorders. Benefit of using technology is that interventions are more accessible, flexible (Maldonado, 2016) and cost- effective (Gooding et al., 2016). Herrera et al. (2012) summarize a superiority outcomes over conventional cognitive rehabilitation in many aspects. Among them, use of portable devices allows bringing interventions to rural areas or homes (Brando et al., 2017).

In Spain, work is being done on it and there are studies associated with its usability and effectiveness. GRADIOR computer-based neuropsychological rehabilitation is a program for people with neurological etiologies. This one stands out from the rest, as it is exclusively for professionals. Allowing them to design, supervise and adapt the cognitive intervention based on their decisions, subsequent to the assessment of other cognitive, emotional and social aspects involved in the rehabilitative process, not only based on the Objectives results on the patient’s performance (Toribio-Guzmán et al., 2018).

This has led to the demand for a Neuropsychological Rehabilitation program that is accessible, parameterizable and adapted to the population of ECUADOR.

To meet this need, a doctoral thesis is being carried out in collaboration with CENTRO MAIOR Ecuador Centro de Especialidades del Adulto Mayor. Spanish program of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation has been tested in its population.

The study has been divided into different phases. A qualitative phase with focus group Methods in which health professionals from Ecuador participated. A phase of adaptation of the Spanish program to the Ecuadorian culture and currency. It is now in experimental phase (35 participants) with MCI and Mild Dementia. It is proposed to present the study, with a clinical case.
