First seen Apr 14, 2026 ยท Last updated Apr 14, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a home-based program designed to help prevent long-term memory decline in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease. The program combines brain-training exercises with a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, which is delivered by a caregiver at home. The main goal is to see if this combined approach is practical and acceptable for people to use in their own homes.
