Summary

This early study tests whether a low-level magnetic therapy device, used at home, is safe and practical for people with cognitive issues from brain injury, Long COVID, or Alzheimer's. About 30 adults will use the device regularly and complete computer-based thinking tests. The goal is to gather initial data to plan larger studies.
