Serious games tested as Cost-Effective therapy for Alzheimer's
NCT ID NCT03208491
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether special video games (serious games) that combine physical and mental exercises are a good value for managing Alzheimer's disease. About 136 people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's will either play these games with a therapist or receive usual care. Researchers will compare costs and quality of life to see if the games are worth using more widely.
