Summary

This pilot study tests whether a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH, originally designed for epilepsy, can be adapted for people with Parkinson's disease. Ten participants will work one-on-one with a coach in nine virtual sessions to learn problem-solving strategies and memory aids. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and can improve quality of life and cognitive function.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a practical, home-based way to help people with Parkinson's manage memory and thinking problems and improve their quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing feasibility, not yet proven to work.
