Brain training on your tablet: a new way to stay sharp at 70?
NCT ID NCT07639203
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 4-week tablet-based brain training program can improve executive functions—like planning and problem solving—in healthy adults aged 65 to 75. Sixty participants will either do the training at home on their own or with a researcher present. Researchers will check thinking skills before, right after, and 3 months later to see if the training helps and if supervision matters.

- Active substance
- tablet-based cognitive training exercises
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, home-based way to keep the mind sharp as we age.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is short (4 weeks) and any benefits might fade over time.
