隨著全球年長者口的迅速增長，年長者照護的需求與挑戰也隨之增加。本研究旨在探討如何通過2D遊戲來提升年長者的反應力、記憶力和認知能力。透過開發三款具體遊戲 : 一款色塊點擊遊戲以訓練反應速度，一款翻牌記憶遊戲以強化記憶力，以及一款塔防遊戲以提升認知策略能力——本研究試圖評估這些遊戲對於提升年長者認知功能的實際效果。本論文首先討論了年長者照護的現狀及其面臨的挑戰，特別是在提供刺激性和有益於健康的活動方面的限制。接著，研究概述了嚴肅遊戲（serious games）的理論基礎，以及它們在教育和健康照護領域中的應用前景。研究方法部分詳細介紹了遊戲的開發流程、實施方式以及預計的效果評估方法。實驗設計章節展示了如何通過實際測試時間前後比對來測試遊戲對年長者群的具體影響，包括參與者的測試、測試後反饋，以及總和測試結果進行分析及統整。
此外，本研究還探討了遊戲介入的可行性和接受度，以及在年長者設施中實施這些遊戲的潛在挑戰和機會。最後，本論文將討論研究結果對現有年長者實踐的意義，以及對未來研究方向的建議。此研究不僅有望提供一個創新的介入工具來提高年長者的生活質量，也為年長者照護中使用數字遊戲提供了實證支持。

Contemporary society is facing a significant problem of population aging. The increase in the elderly population has brought many challenges, especially in the field of elderly care. my country became an aging society in 1993, transitioned to a senior-aged society in 2018, and is estimated to enter a super-aged society in 2025. The proportion of the elderly population in the total population will continue to increase, and is expected to exceed 30% in 2039 and reach 43.6% in 2070. With the advancement of medical technology and the extension of life span, improving the quality of life of the elderly has become an important issue. As the aging of the population continues to deepen, the development of innovative elderly care solutions is crucial to improving the quality of life of the elderly, and traditional The long-term care model faces dual pressures of resource limitations and effectiveness limitations, and innovative solutions are urgently needed to address these challenges. Traditional elderly care methods mainly rely on nursing and medical care. However, traditional elderly care methods often lack interest and activity, which may lead to social isolation and decreased reaction time of the elderly. In addition, more and more studies have shown that digital games, especially serious games, provide a new intervention method that can not only enhance the physical and cognitive functions of the elderly, but also improve their quality of life, and today's people As electronic products and the Internet become increasingly inseparable, the number of middle-aged and elderly people playing games will increase over time. Therefore, electronic games can be used to provide innovative elderly care solutions. The purpose of this study is to explore the use of Unity2D games to develop serious games for the elderly, evaluate the effect of these games on improving the elderly's reaction, memory and cognitive abilities, and the potential for practical application of these games in elderly care facilities. In recent years, digital games, as a non-pharmacological intervention, have shown their potential in improving the cognitive and physical abilities of the elderly. Three corresponding games were developed for the elderly to test, and the results of all testers were integrated. Test data, analyze the effectiveness of the three games based on pre- and post-comparison test times, and integrate testers’ feedback.
