We also propose a comprehensive and professional assessment model of the therapeutic effectiveness of SGDC to compensate for the simplicity of existing assessment methods.

In this paper, we review these existing research work on SGDC from two perspectives: (1) the development of SGDC (2) the different symptoms in different dementia stages. So a reliable assessment model is worth studying. Yet, there is no unified and comprehensive assessment methods for SGDC. Besides, due to the large number of games, it is difficult to select out effective ones. While, a detailed review of the development route and a category framework for characteristics of dementia are still needed. In the field of serious games for dementia care (SGDC) in ageing societies, there exists abundant research related to this topic.

However, serious games, as a new form of dementia therapy, stand out from various therapeutic methods and pave the way for dementia treatment. Medications have been used for the treatment of dementia but with little success. Dementia is a severe disease threatening ageing societies, which not only causes great harm to patients both physically and psychologically but also places a heavy burden on patients’ families.
