Computer-based Cognitive Rehabilitation Program for Healthy Older Adults, Older People With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Dementia
This trial tests a computer-based memory training program delivered via iPad. Participants learn specific strategies for encoding — or storing — memories more effectively, with the goal of supporting daily independence. It enrolls healthy older adults, people with mild cognitive impairment, and people with mild dementia. This is a Phase NA feasibility and effectiveness study, meaning researchers are still working out whether the program is practical and whether it actually helps.
