Summary

This study tests whether an AI-powered chatbot can help adults aged 65 and older start and stick with a personalized exercise program. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive function, like memory and attention, over 24 weeks. Ninety participants will either get the chatbot plus educational materials or just the materials alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
artificial intelligence-supported chatbot
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help older adults stay mentally sharp by encouraging physical activity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, so results may be influenced by placebo effects or participant motivation. The chatbot's impact on cognition is uncertain.

Expected to start

Aug 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Oct 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
