NCT ID NCT07521865
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether older adults with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's can use a tablet-based brain-training app at home. 52 participants played 12 different games for 8 minutes each, daily for two weeks. The goal was to see if the app was easy to use and acceptable, not whether it improves memory.

What this could lead to
