NCT07913243 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Small Monetary Incentives for Digital Cognitive Training Adherence in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Sponsor: Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing
This study tests whether small daily cash rewards, from about 3 cents to 15 cents, help older adults stick with a 15-20 minute smartphone brain-training routine for 12 weeks. The main outcome is how many days people complete the training. It is not a drug trial, and the phase label does not apply. About 110 adults age 60 and up would take part.
You may qualify if
- Aged ≥60 years, either sex.
- Owns and routinely uses a smartphone.
- Willing to sign written informed consent.
You're excluded if
- Visual impairment that cannot be corrected to read training content on a smartphone screen.
- Hearing impairment that cannot be corrected to hear prompts from the training app.
- Severe upper-limb dysfunction preventing stable holding or operation of a smartphone.
- Unable to independently complete cognitive training after on-site instruction by researchers.
- Plans to move away from the local area or be away for a long period within the next 14 weeks, which may interrupt study participation.
- Concurrent participation in another cognitive intervention study.
