Spain has developed the video game The Mind Guardian, in collaboration with Samsung, for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, with an effectiveness of 97 %.

The announcement was made by Samsung. And although The Mind Guardian is not intended to replace clinical diagnosis, it can help reduce the detection time for these diseases.

The video game consists of an “innovative application based on artificial intelligence that allows the assessment of cognitive performance in people over 55 years of age,” developed by Samsung Iberia in collaboration with the University of Vigo and the Galicia Sur Health Research Institute.

It is supported by the Spanish Society of Neurology and the Spanish Society of Psychiatry and Mental Health. It can be used to assess memory independently of an Android tablet. Its gamified design is user-friendly; it “reduces the anxiety associated with traditional medical tests and makes large-scale cognitive screening accessible.” Those interested can download the app from the Google Play Store.

Among the items included are challenges such as “remembering objects in a virtual city, matching images, or following movements on the screen. These tasks have been validated in studies with more than 150 users in day centers and senior citizen associations, achieving 97 % accuracy in detecting signs of cognitive decline.”

The developers of Axie Infinity, the video game based on blockchain technology, reported some changes made to the platform, which is intended to optimize the game mechanics, becoming the last update for the 21st season buffer period.

The activity of Axie Infinity, the game based on NFT, is based on a system of prizes and the sale of animals called axies, which have a real value and can be exchanged, as if they were collectible cards, in order to compete with other users.

Players buy axies and put them to fight against other players and thus obtain the network’s cryptocurrency, called SLP, Smooth Love Potion, as prizes. This crypto can be exchanged for other digital currencies or for physical currencies such as dollars and euros.

New Axie Infinity updates

The developers of the video game noted that they made updates to the balance of the axies, improving the speed of some of the creatures. One of the most important modifications was made to the “Dawn” type creatures, characterized by being the slowest among all the axies, improving them so that they can be selected.

The game also tweaked morale and removed the four morale, which was useless in small amounts, and assigned speed. Hence, “now these axies will be similar to the mechanical types so they will be faster and cause more damage”

Among the other modifications made, the visual effects stand out for greater synchronization with the actions of the axies. They also fixed the bug that showed the wrong class icon for the axie and added the expressions for each of the creatures.

Players will be able to update the new version of the video game by following the steps below. The PC version must access the application download link and press download to install the new version. Then run the application and enter the account.

To update the version for Android and iOS, it is necessary to close the Axie Infinity application, then proceed to uninstall the game. Later it is necessary to download the application again, install it and play with the new version.

Axie Infinity players in Venezuela

The Axie Infinity player and co-founder of the Venezuela to the Moon academy, Diego Ortiz, declared in an interview for El Diario that the number of users of this video game in Venezuela is unknown. “We cannot accurately quantify the percentage of Venezuelan Axie players who reside in the country. For this we would need to have access to data that only the game developers handle.

Some portals specialized in the matter have made some estimates on the number of players of this video game globally, determining that by the end of October the application registered 1.08 million daily users, of which 6.71 % are estimated to be Venezuelan players. If these estimates are true, approximately 168,000 Venezuelan players would be playing Axie Infinity on a daily basis.
