NCT ID NCT07064226
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a digital cognitive rehabilitation system called RICORDO for people with mild memory complaints, mild cognitive impairment, or early Alzheimer's dementia. About 102 participants will use the digital program or standard paper-and-pencil exercises at home for 5 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in thinking skills and how well participants manage their own health.
