Summary

This study tests a 3-month cognitive and emotional stimulation program for over 500 children in disadvantaged schools in Colombia. The program includes digital brain exercises and training for parents and teachers. Researchers will measure changes in thinking skills and emotional intelligence to see if the program helps children overcome the effects of poverty on development.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: cognitive and emotional stimulation programme
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could provide a low-cost, scalable way to boost cognitive and emotional development in children living in poverty.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage study with no drug or biologic; results may not generalize beyond this specific population, and the digital program may not be feasible in all settings.
