First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a web-based education program can boost brain health knowledge in older adults (60+) before elective non-cardiac surgery. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge scores after patients complete the online module. The goal is to help patients and families understand risks like delirium and better prepare for recovery.
