Paper Abstract:	Among the new challenges created by the aging population, which continues to increase significantly, many researchers have taken an interest in designing new services for people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease such as serious games. They have proposed a diverse selection of guidelines for designing cognitive serious games, considering cognitive complexity and motivation. Generally, existing work rely on virtual reality or video interfaces. However, most of these games are not simple and effective enough to suit the needs of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In this paper, a set of specific guidelines for designing and implementing effective serious games targeting patients with Alzheimer's disease and different disabilities are proposed. These guidelines aim to design serious games offering natural interaction helping people to communicate with the ability to capture their attention and to improve their self-esteem by encouraging them and highlighting their preserved abilities.
