Summary

This study tests an online program (eCBTi+) that teaches older adults with insomnia and memory concerns how to improve sleep, manage anxiety and low mood, and potentially protect brain health. About 275 people aged 60 and older will use the program or a control version for several weeks. Researchers will measure changes in sleep quality, mood, and thinking skills to see if the program helps.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: cognitive-behavioral therapy for sleep, anxiety, and depression (eCBTi+)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to improve sleep, mood, and thinking in older adults with insomnia and memory complaints.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively early-stage trial with 275 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires consistent effort and internet access, which may limit its use.
