Summary
This study is developing and testing an intelligent software system designed to provide cognitive and social support to older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The software adapts to each user's abilities and needs. Researchers will enroll 290 participants aged 62 and older with MCI to see how usable and helpful the system is over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Intelligent Adaptive System (software)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a practical tool that helps older adults with mild cognitive impairment stay socially and mentally engaged at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage development study focused on usability, not on proving health benefits. The software may not improve cognition or delay decline.
