<![CDATA[The increasing elderly population in KlatenRegency, reaching 17-18%, brings challenges in the form of an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Posyandu (Integrated Health Post)Dahlia Mandiriin Tegal Malohan faces limitations in cognitive stimulation services due to a lack of media and the human resources capacity of its cadres. This community service activity aims to implement rollmate technology as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve the cognitive function of the elderly through the empowerment of Posyandu cadres. Training was conducted for six cadres using lecture and hands-on methods. The intervention was then applied to 55 elderly people over two cycles to measure the effectiveness of the tool's use on cognitive speed and scores. The cadre training showed a significant increase in knowledge, with an average pre-test score of 30.89 to 86.83 in the post-test. In the elderly group, the application of rollmate successfully increased the speed and duration of use by 1.5 minutes and increased scores by 100%. Qualitatively, elderly people reported feeling more "fresh" mentally and showed increased focus and stabilization of cognitive scores. The use of rollmate is effective as a means of stimulating eye-hand coordination and a recreational psychology for the elderly. Integrating this tool into routine posyandu activities is crucial for the sustainability of the intervention, with family support being a key factor in independent use at home.]]>
