Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a mobile-based personalized physical activity program called SuperBrain BOOM is safe and works to improve cognitive function, physical performance, mood, and quality of life in older adults (ages 50-85) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can SuperBrain BOOM be safely and effectively used by people with MCI? Does the program help improve cognitive and physical function? Do participants stay engaged and complete the program as expected?

Researchers will compare:

A mobile intervention group using SuperBrain BOOM (on tablet or smartphone) A control group receiving usual care

Participants will:

Use a tablet or smartphone to follow a personalized physical activity program for 12 weeks Complete clinical assessments on cognition, physical ability, mood, and nutrition Be monitored for safety and program adherence using automatically collected data

Detailed Description

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

This study is designed to assess the feasibility, safety, and potential benefits of a multi-domain personalized physical activity intervention-SuperBrain BOOM-delivered via mobile devices (tablet or smartphone) for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Mild Cognitive Impairment is a condition in which individuals experience noticeable cognitive decline without significant impairment in daily functioning. It is considered a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. Evidence suggests that regular physical activity and cognitive engagement can delay or reduce the risk of progression to dementia.

SuperBrain BOOM provides personalized exercise programs tailored to each participant's cognitive status, physical capacity, and lifestyle, and is designed to improve cognitive function, physical performance, emotional well-being, and quality of life.

This randomized controlled trial will allocate participants into three groups: a mobile intervention group (tablet or smartphone) and a control group receiving usual care. The primary outcomes include changes in cognitive function, physical performance, mood, nutritional status, and quality of life over 12 weeks. Safety and adherence will be monitored throughout the intervention using system-generated data and clinical assessments.

Secondary analyses will explore subgroup differences based on APOE genotype and demographic variables to better understand who benefits most from the intervention.

Study Groups

Tablet-based intervention group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tablet-based Physical SuperBrain BOOM

Intervention Type DEVICE

This intervention is a tablet-based physical activity program designed for patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Participants receive a personalized exercise plan through a tablet application, with real-time feedback to enhance cognitive function.

Compared to the smartphone-based version, this program is designed to provide a larger interface and structured environment, allowing participants to engage in the program using a tablet at home or in a clinical setting.

The app also helps track progress and encourage adherence to the exercise regimen.

Smartphone-based intervention group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Smartphone-based SuperBrain BOOM

Intervention Type DEVICE

This intervention is a smartphone-based physical activity program designed for MCI patients. Participants receive a personalized exercise plan through a smartphone app, with real-time feedback to enhance cognitive function. Unlike the tablet-based intervention, this program is designed to be more portable and flexible, enabling participants to engage in the program from anywhere using their smartphones. The app also helps track progress and encourage adherence to the exercise regimen.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age: Between 50 and 85 years old.
2. Meets all of the core clinical criteria for suspected Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) according to the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) guidelines as of the screening date:

* Concerns of the participant or caregiver regarding cognitive decline compared to prior functioning.
* Impairment in at least one cognitive domain.
* Preserved independence in overall daily living activities.
* No dementia.
3. Has one or more of the following neuropsychological test results within one year of the screening date, with delayed recall scores in the memory domain below the mean -1.0 standard deviation according to age- and education-adjusted normative data:

* Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery 2nd Edition (SNSB-II)
* Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD-K)
* Literacy Independent Cognitive Assessment (LICA)
4. As of the screening date, has a Korea-Mini Mental State Examination (K-MMSE-2) score that corresponds to at least -1.5 standard deviations below the mean based on age- and education-adjusted normative data.
5. As of the screening date, has a Global Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) score of 0.5, with a memory score of either 0.5 or 1.
6. Capable of using a tablet or smartphone with training, or has a research partner who can assist with using a tablet or smartphone.
7. Has a caregiver who regularly contacts the participant:

-A caregiver who is able to support the participant (monitor compliance and report participant status) and spends at least 8 hours per week with the participant during the trial period.
8. The participant provides written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Presence of psychiatric disorders, such as major depression.
2. Dementia.
3. Other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease.
4. Malignant tumors within the past 5 years that have not been declared cured.
5. Vascular surgery or stent placement within the past year.
6. Severe or unstable symptomatic cardiovascular disease.
7. Evidence of severe or unstable physical conditions, such as acute or severe asthma, active peptic ulcers, severe liver disease, kidney disease requiring dialysis, or any other medical conditions that may interfere with completing the clinical trial.
8. Severe vision impairment, severe hearing loss, or communication difficulties that would prevent the participant from undergoing the intervention or efficacy assessments.
