Tongue Muscle Training App for Middle-Aged and Older Adults Incorporating Flow-Based Gameplay: Design and Feasibility Pilot Study by Kuan-Chu Su, Ko-Chiu Wu, Kuei-Ru Chou, Chia-Hsu Huang

“…This pilot study used an image recognition system to detect the tongue movements of 32 healthy middle-aged and older adults (7 males, 21.9%; 25 females, 78.1%) during 3 game training tasks, each requiring different reaction speeds. Their physiological and psychological signals, as well as the results of the Flow State Scale 2 (FSS2) questionnaire, were used for correlation analysis regarding relevant flow experiences to establish and evaluate the feasibility of our method. …”
