Summary

This study is testing a tablet-based meditation game called MediTrain to see if it can help older adults improve their thinking skills and manage stress. Researchers will enroll 4,000 people aged 60 and older to find the best amount of game play needed for benefits. The game adapts to each person's skill level, making it easier for beginners to practice focused attention.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
MediTrain (tablet-based meditation game)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, at-home way to slow age-related memory loss and reduce stress in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study testing different 'doses' of the game. The game may not improve thinking more than other activities, and results may vary by individual.
