About Paper:

'Brain Boosters' is a novel combined compensatory training and lifestyle modification intervention aimed at Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk reduction. Training in compensation will focus on a calendar and tracking system, organizational strategies, and goal setting, all aimed at supporting independent function. An easy-to- use, interactive application, Electronic Memory and Management Aid (EMMA) will be used to facilitate behavioral change and enhance participant motivation. To capitalize on a critical window of opportunity to intervene, we will target cognitively normal older adults with subjective cognitive concerns (SCC), an established risk for AD and cognitive impairment. The trial will enroll 200 older adults with SCC who will be randomized to our digital application-supported compensation training and lifestyle modification intervention, or to an education-only control group that will not use the EMMA app or be taught how to implement the educational material into their daily lives. Both intervention arms will be delivered in a group setting over 6 months, followed by 12 months of unsupervised follow-up. The project is expected to expand understanding of factors that may impact adherence to and outcomes of a preventative intervention leading to optimization of a scalable intervention to reduce dementia risk applicable to diverse populations.
