BID LTM Digital Intervention in Aging
This trial is testing two digital brain-training games — one focused on navigation and memory, one a word game used as a comparison — to see whether either improves long-term memory and cognitive control in older adults, including those with mild cognitive impairment. It is a Phase NA study, meaning it is a behavioral intervention trial rather than a drug trial, run entirely from home over eight weeks with a six-month follow-up. Details on the specific games are limited in the public summary.
