Dementia is a common condition among older adults, particularly those aged 60 years and above, and it affects memory, cognition, and overall quality of life. Early screening and cognitive enhancement are therefore essential for delaying neurodegenerative decline. Based on this concept, the “Brain Check Pro” web application was developed to provide preliminary dementia screening using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and to promote cognitive function through interactive activities such as matching and memory games. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design following the PDCA cycle and was tested among 30 older adults aged 60 years and above residing in Ban Thasi community, Roi Et Province. Research instruments included the MMSE-Thai 2002, a web application performance assessment, and a user satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptiveReferences
