As Taiwan transitions into a super‐aged society, the prevalence of dementia continues torise, and its associated behavioral and psychological symptoms have placed a significantburden on the long‐term care system. While current adult daycare centers and dementiacare center have widely adopted multi‐modal health promotion programs‐which offer certainbenefits for functional maintenance‐they largely focus on behavioral training levels.They rarely incorporate precise intervention designs that directly act on brain functionand neuroplasticity, nor do they integrate safe, low‐invasive brain neuromodulationtechnologies suitable for long‐term care settings.Furthermore, differences in resource conditions, staffing allocation, and technologicalexperience across different care settings (such as urban versus rural areas) posechallenges to the practical promotion and application of long‐term care technology, withrelevant empirical research remaining relatively limited.To address these research gaps, this study combines personalized gamma music stimulationwith cognitive activity training to investigate their effects on cognitive performanceand psychological states in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and milddementia. Additionally, it evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of differentintervention tools across various care settings, serving as an empirical reference forthe development of smart brain health promotion models.
