Summary
This pilot study tests whether a telehealth program called HOBSCOTCH-PACS can help people with long COVID manage memory and thinking problems. Ten participants will attend nine virtual coaching sessions and complete questionnaires about their quality of life and cognitive function. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and improves daily living.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a practical, home-based way to help people with long COVID manage brain fog and improve their daily life.
