Individualised Computerised Cognitive Training (iCCT) for Mild Cognitive Impairment
Overview
This study explored the effects of Individualised Computerised Cognitive Training (iCCT) on cognitive abilities in people aged 60+ with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The iCCT uses machine learning to tailor exercises to each person’s skill level, making training more effective.
Study Methods
We compared iCCT with a basic version (bCCT) during a 6-month trial. A total of 89 participants from Germany used these programs from home. Cognitive abilities were assessed at the start and after 6 months using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
Key Findings
- Both training programs improved cognitive scores significantly.
- The iCCT group saw an average increase of 2.2 points in their MoCA score.
- The bCCT group had an increase of 0.9 points.
- Participants used the programs about three times a week for 35 minutes each session.
- iCCT was rated as more engaging than bCCT.
Conclusions
Engaging in a multi-tasking cognitive training program for just 30 minutes, three times a week, can significantly boost cognitive skills in individuals with MCI within six months. The use of machine learning enhances training effectiveness and user satisfaction.
Clinical Application
Clinical trials are essential for safe treatment development. Our AI-driven platform, DocSym, consolidates valuable medical knowledge, making it easier for clinicians to access and apply findings in practice. Additionally, our mobile apps streamline scheduling, treatment monitoring, and telemedicine, improving patient care management.
By integrating AI, clinics can enhance workflows, improve patient outcomes, and reduce paperwork.
