Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will examine whether among older adults social interaction functions in a home-based cognitive training program can better support adherence to training and reduce social isolation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this project is to conduct a pilot study to test the feasibility of two new features, a chat function and a leaderboard function, to encourage social interactions and support adherence to cognitive training protocols (mental exercises delivered via a tablet) over a period of time (2 months), and uncover individual difference factors that can predict poor adherence in the future and social interactions in the game. Even effective cognitive interventions may fail if individuals do not adhere to them for an extended period. This project will compare cognitive training games with chat function and leaderboard in reducing social isolation and improving adherence to the training, compared to an external control group using a generic reminder system delivered via smartphone text messages to promote adherence. The ultimate goal, as effective technology-based interventions to improve cognition become available, is to help support their benefit for older adults by maximizing long-term adherence.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cognitive Training with Social Function

To promote adherence and reduce social isolation, participants will be asked to use home-based cognitive training program on a tablet for 30 minutes per day for 5 days a week for 1 month, then use it freely for another month. The cognitive training program has a chat function and a leadership board to allow interaction between participants.
