NCT ID NCT05167045
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a new online program called the Brain Health Support Program (BHSP) designed to teach people about dementia and how to lower their risk through lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and social connection. Twenty adults with mild memory concerns or a family history of dementia tried the program. The main goal was to see if the website was easy to use and if people liked it, not to measure health outcomes.
