First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a 12-week online program called Brain Health Together for older adults with mild cognitive decline. Participants joined live-streaming exercise and education classes, plus individual coaching, all from home. The goal was to see if the program could improve thinking skills and reduce dementia risk factors. The study enrolled 208 people across the U.S. and measured changes in cognitive performance and risk scores at 3 and 6 months.
