Summary

This study tested a cognitive training software called SUPERBRAIN DEX in 140 people aged 50–85 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that can lead to dementia. Participants used the software for 15–30 minutes daily, while a control group received an educational booklet on dementia prevention. The goal was to see if the software could improve memory and thinking better than simple education. The trial is now complete, and results will show whether this digital approach can help slow cognitive decline.
